Product: Office 2003 Pro

Error: "Office Update was unable to check for update for this
computer"

Solution that worked for me: Uninstalled Access 2000 SR-1 Runtime
files from ADD/Remove Programs

Not sure how the file got installed anyway.

Thanks for posting this because it worked for me too!

However, because I had deleted the C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office folder,
I was unable to remove Access 2000 Runtime using Add or Remove Programs.
The uninstaller was looking for C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\ART\ so I
searched the registry for that value and deleted all main keys (not just the
sub key) containing that value. I then did an install-repair of Office 2003
Pro.
