Can you tell me why are you very much certain that you are having problem with the source engine itself. Have you checked the log file also tell me from where do you get the information that you are having problem with microsoft source engine only. Also do not forget to post the log file so that i can give you a better solution.

It appears as your office 2003 program is corrupted and hence you are not able to download and install the updates so if you want to update your system you need to repair your system using the setup cd or if the repair does not help you then you will have to reinstall the whole office program all the best.

* Open the start Menu select run and type services.msc, and then click OK.
* A new window will open and in that windows double-click Office Source Engine.
* View the Startup type list.
* If the startup type is set to Disabled, change the startup type to Manual. To do this, click Manual in the Startup type list, and then click OK.
