  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.

• Error code 646 with Office updates

  code 646 error when you perform windows for vista was last updated to solve a security problem with office 2003 and set the junk e-mail filter. Another diagnosis did not work and I am never asked to accept the terms. have tried several times. Sometimes my computer talk to me in Chinese because I often use in China, but do not know if this has something to do with it. Have known a lot of probs with recent outlook and very slow responses with other programs may if an intruder is already inside.

  chinaivd,
  To get updates Office installed when you receive the error 646, usually download and install them manually will work.  Look at your history of update and get the KB # updates failed.  Then, go to the Microsoft Download Center, search the KB # and then you download the file to your PC.  Then, simply double-click the file to run it.

  If it is possible to have any type of infection so I suggest that you take a look at these links:

  I have problems with fixing error code: code 80073712 in my windows update program... I tried to do the checksur.exe... and after having told me he found 10 errors... He only corrected a mistake and said its missing files to correct the other 9 errors it finds... I have over 3000 photos on the computer more than a ton of documents that was for my personal use and then my church congregation as well. The music I like to keep it on the hard drive and really don't want to lose to re - install windows to fix backup... would only store my documents and photos... as I tried to record my songs on a DVD that says that he accepts the mp3 files, but it didn't work... so I lost 3 DVDs, it took to keep the music... Are there other ways to solve this problem without having to save and not lose the files... I really need to keep most of them away to printing purposes and everyday... Thanks a lot for all the help that can be given.

  I already tried the methods of fixing this error code 2... None of them helped or solved the problem... y at - it something else I can do...

  I was not able to install updates since November 13, 2009... updates how am I missing that will affect the security of my operating system and is updated just a better option...

  You are missing a lot of critical security updates (especially if the updates published on 10 Nov 09 never installed).

  You don't want to switch to Win7 with the computer in its current state (nor would you be able to do, I think).

  Vista SP1 or SP2 installed?

  What application or antivirus security suite is installed and your current subscription?  What anti-spyware (other than Defender) applications?  What third-party firewall (if applicable)?

  A (another) Norton or McAfee application has already been installed on this machine (for example, a free trial version which is preinstalled when you bought it)?

  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!
