Good question. Okay, I'm on XP, not 2k as the other correspondent is. 
Nevertheless I have fallen into the trap of not checking what's *really* 
happening rather than what MS say is happening. My computer here - the 
one that was getting the error - is supposed to be on auto-update. 
That's what the settings say it is. However, I found that a manual 
update found 5 'critical' (whatever that means) updates that hadn't been 
installed. Installing them appears to have made the problem go away.

Oh, I do so love Windoze.
