I installed the updates this afternoon. Was told it was successfull except
one important update. The message suggested I come to this site, type in the
code and it would tell me what to do. Instead I ended up on this chat.

What am I suppose to do.

And the number of the update is? Which Windows version are you using?

Took me some time to find what you asked for. The program that failed was
Office 2003 Service Pack 3 (SPS). Using Vistas operating system

Hm, have you tried downloading and installing SP3 for Office 2003 manually?

same prob. seems like it's only affecting service packs whether it be for
windows or office. already tried re-validating both windows and office. not
using mcaffree (as most web posts seem to indicate as the problem on norton
360. (this error as not come up before, w/ the same
software/software-combination installed. [hdisk died, had to reinstall
everything/reapplying updates]) manual install of windows sp worked fine.
haven't tried office yet, but suspect it should wrk.

Freudi, your kind of abrasive, also your response doesn't identify nor solve
a potentially ongoing problem. it only addresses a work around for the
immediate problem.
