This is really annoying... My windows update constantly comes up and tries
to install Service Pack 3 for Office XP. Problem is I have Office 2003
installed on my system and the SP3 install fails obviously due to the
version conflicts. Problem is, with Windows Update set to Automatic, it
constantly tries to install and fails therefore constantly using up my
system resourses.

I'm sure there is a registry entry that can be altered somewhere, does
anyone know how to eliminate this problem?

pls cc: responses to connarchATyahoo.com

TIA

Hi Pierre,

Check in Add/Remove Programs in the Windows control panel to see if you have an Microsoft Office XP or 2002 series applications
listed as still installed.
