Re: Service Pack 3

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Install History (7 failed)=Update: Office XP Sv Pack 3; Status: "X?";Source:
Automatic Updates! "X?"="Error Code 0x8024002D"; however, "Find Solutions"
does not list this error!
Click on yellow "Ready for..." icon on Task Bar: "Norton AV comes up with
msg "Waiting for Main SP3f-msp scan"!
Screen "MS Word 2002": "The feature you are trying to use is on a CD-ROM or
other removable disk that is not available. Insert MS Word 2002 disk" (which
I do not have).
I have XP Home Edition...and I have an update icon on my Task Bar waiting to
install Office SV3 that I don't want! I feel that if I do a Restore back to
the first time this "failed" showed up in Install History, I would probably
still have an "automatic update"!
OK, your "Doc..." showed the error as "WU E FF Source Absent--A full-file
patch failed because the source was required". Thanks for that reference--but
see above! Still do not know how to get this automatic update off of my Task
Bar that is waiting to install a source I do not have?
