I've deleted all temp files, internet browser cache, and history, but this
doesn't help.
Is Office Update not compatible with either Windows 98 or Office 2000? If
not, do I have to download the 3 service packs for Office 2000 and apply them
manually?
Thanks....
I'm running Office 2K SBE under Win98SE, and Office Update usually runs
just fine. You might want to find and manually install version 2 of the
Office Update Installer, to see if that helps.
In any case, needing to download and install the required service packs
(SR-1 and SP3) manually wouldn't be the worst thing to happen; having
them on your backup disks will make restoring your system after a hard
drive crash a little easier.
Hope this helps.

get the updates and there's no yellow bar/box thingie.
Tried the stuff on this page: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/304498
No Joy.
Got the Installer 2.0 from here:

No Luck.
The trouble turned out to be that there was no OPUC.DLL anywhere.
Grabbed the .CAB from here:
http://office.microsoft.com/officeupdate/content/opuc3.cab
Used EXTRACT to get OPUC.DLL, used REGSVR32 to register the .DLL
Huzzah! Office Update Works! It's still a pain because you have to update
to SR1a, then SR3, and then get the security updates.
