My PC is set to Auto-update and it does without problems. However, for the last few days it has been trying to carry out an update and always fails. But it keeps trying every day. Without knowing why its failing, I can't resolve it, or stop it from trying!!



Any ideas?

 

Put the Office 2003 cd-rom into the drive and then run windows / microsoft update

 

Thanks Dan.

I've sorted it now, you're along the right lines, it's to do with the 'Office Source Engine' file, which must have been removed when I selected the option to delete installation files when I first installed it!

I didn't see your reply and have already deleted and reinstalled Office!

 

Copy the source to a "Setups" folder on the HDD and install from there, it will always look to the setups folder if it needs files from the CD then.

 

your really need to step away from pc's

 

Buy a brand new pc from the likes of PC World and then you know it will be tip-top

 

So, I have a minor problem with a Windows update and I need to throw it away and buy a new one?

I wish I earnt what you guys do.
