Can't Run Windows/Microsoft Update because Windows 2000 is not supported by WGA.

I would like to run Microsoft Update or Windows update on a Windows 2000 Pro machine. However, Update won't run without first running WGA and Windows 2000 is no longer supported by WGA. Is there any other way to run Update?

Thanks,
