i am running xp home edition pre installed
due to major problems i had to restore my computer back to factory settings.
last night i tried to install office pro 2003 from my disc and i got an
error saying that the installation can not take place because a service pack
is not fully completed and go to microsoftupdate..... to update my computer.

i dont even have a service pack on my computer due to the fact that it was
restored. i was wondering if i installed service pack 1a would that then
allow me to install office 2003.
i know there is a service pack 2 but to cut a long story short im wondering
about service pack 1a

thanking you heaps in advance

microsoftupdate
huh? were you directed to Windowsupdate or Officeupdate?
In any case, is there a reason you don't want to follow Microsoft's
recommendation?

Entirely possible. What happened when you tried it?
