Does that mean Automatic Updates is not enabled nor can you enable it and
that you cannot use the CUSTOM option at Windows Update?

Thank you for your suggestions. Have now tried but still no success.
Anything else you can suggest please?

Is Automatic Updates enabled?

Can you install them manually via http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com
after
selecting the CUSTOM option?

office 2000 and they have been running together without problems for

years.
