    Hello

    Here's what I recommend you do:

    1 disable UAC. Down comes the restrictions - turn it off completely.
    2 restart your computer for the change to take effect.
    3 re - download the update of security for Microsoft Office System 2007 (KB982331) from the link below:
    http://www.Microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=7f89a734-cda4-4abb-9a10-f6dfe560e8d0&displaylang=en
    4. install. It should work fine.
    5. If it still does not work, try to open all or part of your MS Office applications (such as MS Word, MS Excel, etc.).
    6. follow steps 3-4.
    7. If it still does not work, follow step # 3 again. After you download it, try to disconnect your computer from the internet (unplug the internet cable or turn off the modem). Then, try to install the downloaded (KB982331). It should work this time.

    Let me know your results.

    What gives?  What can I do to fix this?
    TX... John W.

    Your answer was very helpful.  After that three failures l updates finally worked without my intervention.  Updates are KB21585 and KB979538.

    I think Microsoft may have made a few changes to the installation process and it worked finally.  I learned something about the updates and how to check what my system installed that I didn't know before.

    Thank you very much Hans J. Thimm
