I use to have security of norton, but I know I have mcafee. and I've changed programs of security around the same time, I started getting these error codes.

  Thank you

  Sorry, you have problems getting your patches installed. I have a number of things for you to look at.  First of all, your Background Intelligent Transfer Services set to Automaticand started and Windows Update ? You can check these settings by typing services.msc in the search box of the start menu.

  Since they are all Office updates, you can do a repair for office function.  To do this, click the Start button, type programs and features and click the enter key. Right click on Microsoft Office 2007 and choose change.  Choose fix and continue.  Microsoft Office will attempt to fix any problems there (this will) take a few minutes to run.

  Sometimes in order to get patches to install correctly, you must perform these tasks manually.  Download and run each patch:

  KB980729

  KB981715 

  KB976321

  One last thing, you mention that you removed Norton.  Did you use just add/remove programs?  If so, you must run the Norton Romoval Tool (from Norton). Add/Remove Programs does not receive everything uninstalled.  Here is the link: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe

  Hope this helps to get your installed patches.

  OK... I had the same problem with the download of the 2007 Microsoft security updates. When I tried to install updates, I receive error 646. I finally solved my problem by going to the Download Center on Microsoft and I install manually.

  Here are the steps that I took... which I think should work:

  (1) go to the Microsoft Download Center: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/default.aspx
  (2) look for each update code that begins with the letters "KB" and followed by a set of numbers (i.e. KB974234)
  3) click on the link for the download and then click on download and run. I think you have to accept an agreement, then click on continue or OK
  4) repeat for all downloads that you can not install
  (5) run Microsoft Update new and click search the updates and if updates have been installed successfully, they should no longer appear in the updates that must be installed.

  I don't know if it is not relevant or if it helped me succeed to install updates manually, but before I manually installed my updates I followed the instructions David_O posted here http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistawu/thread/f3390e74-9961-4aae-8a05-554c1a9cf1a2 . I suggest that first of all try to download manually by following my directions. If it does not, then it's a possibility instructions of David resolved an issue that allowed me to download them manually disable Microsoft downloads site.

  I can't believe all the research and the suggestions of the technicians did not work... sometimes your own research is the best!

  I hope this helps! Good luck!
