The MS Office installed on my laptop is MS office professional 2010. And I never installed another version of MS office on my laptop except MS office 2010.

    I also noticed that whenever I stop my PC the same message appears saying: "1 update is installed, do not unplug your pc.  I don't know if it's related to the problem or not.

    No more update "Security Update for Microsoft PowerPoint 2007 (KB 957789)" appears when I do a windows update and no more the messege "installation update 1 of 1 in the process... etc" appears when I stop my machine.

    That's what I did:

    1 not installed MS Office 2010

    2. run windows update and everything was nice and smooth. And the update "Security Update for Microsoft PowerPoint 2007 (KB 957789)" does not appear in the update list.

    3 - I stop my machine.

    4. restart the machine and re-installed MS Office 2010.

    Everything is nice and smooth and no error appears when you perform an update.

    Hi ScottCarter,

    ·         Did you do changes on the computer before the show?

    ·         You are trying to install updates?

    ·         Are what fixit you referring?

    Follow these methods.

    Method 1: Temporarily disable the security software.

    Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable the antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network at the time the anti-virus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    Method 2: Put the computer in a clean boot state to see if there is a software conflict as the clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.
