UPDATES NOT INSTALLING?

[Guest its_my_dime]

I just did a full reinstall of XP Professional and Office 2007. I

downloaded and installed SP3 for XP and SP1 for Office.

 

Now Windows/Office keeps asking me to install 35 programs that seem to have

0 content and take 0 minutes to install.

It downloads those programs and then tells me the installations failed.

 

Is it safe to assume that these updates were part of the SP's that I

downloaded/installed.

 

If so, is it safe to tell Microsoft not to ask me again about these

programs?

 

Alternatively, what is going on?

 

Thank you.

Note also: I get a message that says something on my computer is preventing

the installation of those updates....but there was no problem with the SP's.

Usually Method 1 is sufficient, but you may need to go onto Method 2 -

ignore the title if you feel it irrelevant -

 

Updates are not installed successfully from Windows Update, from Microsoft

Update, or by using Automatic Updates after you perform a new Windows XP

installation or you repair a Windows XP installation
