Dear TaurArian,
Thanks for your reply. I do not have an Office CD. Windows XP Home Edition
was pre-installed, along with MS Word 2002. I guess that Picture Manager was
also included in the earlier installation. The only other Office programme I
have installed myself was MS Frontpage 2003 (not 2002). So, I'm a little
anxious about taking some of the options you have suggested lest by doing so
it puts me in a worse situation than I am now.
Any further thoughts?

If you were downloading a patch, repair Office install and try the patch again or try
installing the patch with the Office CD in the installation drive."
1. Try installing Service Pack 3 with your Office 2003 CD in the installation CD-ROM drive
before trying to install.
2. Try downloading the full installation pack and installing

4. Try repairing/reinstalling Office 2003 -

| To preserve my sanity can anyone help?
|
| I run with Windows XP Home Edition and have automatic updates configured -
| the problem I cannot resolve is that an update installing SP3 has failed with
| an error code of 0x8024002D.
|
| I have tried installing this several times but it has failed every time.
|
| The messages I am getting are:
|
| " The feature you are trying to use is on a CD-Rom or other removable disk
| that is not available"
|
| "Insert the Microsoft Office XP Professional with Frontpage disk and click ok"
|
| "Use source: Microsoft Office XP Professional with Frontpage"
|
| As I said earlier I am using Home Edition not XP Professional, and I also
| see that the update is relative to Frontpage 2002. The version I am working
| with is FP 2003.
|
| I have tried putting my FP 2003 disk in when a disk is called for, but
| predictably it fails!!
|
| Now I am just frustrated and want to stop the pesky little 'update shield'
| appearing every time in my status bar, waiting for it to appear seems to slow
| down my system when I boot-up! Do I 'really' need SP3, if not I want rid of
| this so-called update.
|
| I have tried a number of options without success.
|
| I do hope someone can help!!!!
|
| Thanks in advance,
|
