Re: trouble installing office 2003 updates

Sorry for my misspelling. Try this and see if it will work for you

1. Download the LISTool from the Office download site. Do not execute it just yet
2. Download the full SP2 file. About 101mb
3. Open any Office app and go to Help\Detect and Repair and activate it.
4. Reboot
5. Execute the LISTool by selecting all the Office apps that you have in there. Then make sure you select the Enable Option and NOT the Disable one.
6. Reboot
7. Try the install of the SP2 with the Full file that you have downloaded.

This should install the SP2.

Good luck and let us know.
