PC installs 4 updates every time I switch off. I got help recently for finding control panel from task manager and Goku gave me a disinfect routine which I followed but I'm still getting these 4 updates install each time I switch off. Any ideas?

Hi I have recently had to reinstall MS Office 2007 due to a registry error I was receiving in PowerPoint. Since reloading the whole office suite back onto my laptop windows updates have appeared for the different office programs. I have checked Add & Remove programs and none appear but each time I download them & click install the following messages appear. Initializing installation... done! Installing Security Update for Microsoft Office system 2007 (KB951808) (update 1 of 9)... failed! Installing Update for Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 (KB952142) (update 2 of 9)... failed! Installing Update for Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 Junk Email Filter (KB953463) (update 3 of 9)... failed!

Installing Security Update for the 2007 Microsoft Office System (KB947801) (update 8 of 9)... failed! I don’t know if the registry has been corrupt. I am using XP Pro and upgraded to Service Pack 3. All in all the Office programs work fine without any problems. It’s just the windows updates keep appearing and fail to install. I have tried to hide & ignore these updates but they keep reappearing. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Russ

I've just bought 2 new identical PC's with XP pro installed. Both Cre 2 Duo with 250GB HD and 2GB mem. Both are running ok but whilst one has accepted SP3 from a CD I burned from the .iso, the other will not install SP3 either from the CD or from windows update site. Neither will it install Update for Windows XP (KB898461) and Microsoft Windows Installer 3.1. I've also tried to install IE7 and again no joy with this one machine. The other is fine. Any ideas? Many thanks, Bob.
