Office 2003 update help

Hi. I've been trying to update Office Professional Edition 2003 but am not
having any luck. I have XP with SP2 installed. The only error messages I
have are in the update history as follows:

Update for InfoPath 2003 (KB887982)
Update for Outlook 2003 Junk Email Filter (KB904631)
Update for Office 2003 (KB887980)
Update for Office 2003 (KB885828)
Office 2003 Service Pack 2
Any help would be appreciated.

post a new topic. When I hit "new" I do not get a place to put a new post.
Can you help?
