Automatic update service hung in starting mode

I have a win2000 server service pack 4.

I noticed that the server did not get the windows updates that my other
servers got and apon futher investigation I found that the Automatic
update service is stuck in starting mode. I don' t have any idea how
to fix it. If I try to run windows update from IE it will also hang.
I tried putting it in manual mode and rebooted, when I tried to use NET
START to start it I gave me the error "Service did not respond in a
timly manner". In the windows update log the only error I get is
"WARNING: AU found no suitable session to launch client in", but that
was only once and I have reboot several times. Nothing in any of the
event logs. The server uses the local system account which is a local
and domain admin.

Thanks
Rob

Do you know which version of SP4 you have installed? There is a second
release of SP4 v2.
