Windows Updating something not there?
I have Windows Update set to automatic, and when you look at the update
history, it shows many failed updateds for Office XP. Office XP is not installed on the computer. Why does it try to do those updates? |

Why does it try to do those updates? Do you have a version of MS Works with Word 2002 on it? If the answer is yes, then that's why. Just go to MS Office Updates instead.

OK, I'm doing Microsoft Update, Windows and Office combined, but no, I do not
have Works on the machine, and my office version is 2003.

Then I don't know why you are getting failed updates for Office XP components. I suggest you crosspost to the Windows Update and the MS Office newsgroups, perhaps to he microsoft.public.windowsupdate microsoft.public.officeupdate Malke -- Elephant Boy Computers www.elephantboycomputers.com "Don't Panic!"
