Hi Jerome,
I'm not sure what what would keep the entire site from
loading for you. There can be some 3rd party browser
addins or acclerators and firewall products that can stop
the update scan from completing but not from the initial
site at
http://office.microsoft.com/Officeupdate
loading.
You may want to try emptying the temporary internet files
cache to start with and deleting the Office update control
from that same Internet Option tool choice in your browser
to start.
=========
Every route I take to get to OfficeUpdate doesn't work. I try from
WindowsUpdate, from the Office Web Page and I just can't get there.
The page never loads and I have to stop it. Because of this I haven't
updated my copy of Office 2000 Pro in months. >>

I hope this helps you,
Bob Buckland ?
