I am using Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition SP2.

Windows Update will not run automatically and causes a System error.

I can access Windows Update manually via IE although I have not attempted
installing the updates as yet.

Below the warnings in windowsupdate.log at the point the system error
occurs. There warnings are repeated frequently:

Your help would be much appreciated.
