the error code doesn't look like one that would apply.  I'm sure it is a
script error on one of the Windows Update pages.  I suggested a proxy/cache
error because a mismatch between different pages/files could cause it.  I'm
just guessing but it looks like it may be an undefined variable error in
script. Now why you get this and other Windows 2000 users do not, I can't
say.  It may be that if you enable script debugging in the IE advanced
options dialog it would pinpoint the error to a specific URL.

give enough info to identify when during your visit you see this.  One
quick thought is that if you have a cache or proxy that is misbehaving you
might see such an error.
