HELP! MS office update engine won't insatll

E

Help Anyone?
I have office 2000 on Win98SE
I have had to reinstall Word and would like to update for security reasons.
I try to scan for updates on the MS engine here
http://office.microsoft.com/officeupdate/maincatalog.aspx?lc=en-gb
The scan aborts with a page that says I must “Install the Office Update
Installation Engineâ€
http://office.microsoft.com/en-gb/FX010329501033.aspx
I follow the instructions there but this achieves nothing
I click on this link
http://office.microsoft.com/search/redir.aspx?AssetID=HA011357171033&CTT=5&Origin=HA010491921033
“Office update ActiveX failed to loadâ€
Nothing there works either, so I search for updates manually as instructed
here
http://office.microsoft.com/search/redir.aspx?AssetID=CD010200271033&CTT=5&Origin=HA011357171033

But, not understanding everything that comes up, I don’t understand…
(1)Do I just install everything?
(2)Can anyone suggest how to sort out the “Office update installation engine�
I tried installing the updater by another route and got the message that the
service already exists!

Many Thanks

Eljay
