Office Genuine Advantage (OGA) doesn't work in Office Update....

Hello.

I am having an Office Update problem on an old Toshiba notebook/laptop
with old Windows 98 SE (updated via Windows Update since its support end
date; has IE 6.0 SP1) and Office 2000 SR-2. It checks for updates (to
100% in its graph) and then fails. I tried rebooting, clearing stuff
(caches, histories, and %temp%), uninstalling two OGA objects, deleting
OGACheckControl.DLL file, etc. Even after removing OGA objects and
deleting OGACheckControl.DLL file, I can't seem to get a prompt to
redownload and reinstall OGA ActiveX plugin.

I did NOT have any problems in the past. The last time ran Office Update
on this notebook/laptop was about a month ago. I also checked another
machine with Office 2000 SP2 on a XP Pro. SP2 machine, and it had no
problems so I don't think it is not MS' side.

Does Office Update (not the individual update installations) keep a log
like Windows Updates? I even searched all *.log and sorted by date, but
didn't find any new ones that match the failure time. Did MS stop
supporting Office 2000 in Windows 9x or something?

Thank you in advance. :)
