Dear MudSud:
I wonder if I might pick your brain for another related problem. When I go
to the Microsoft home page and click on Office Updates for XP I receive I
message that says "Office update is unable to check for updates" and then
gives a bunch of reasons why this might be the case. After reviewing the
information, it's still not clear how to resolve this problem. Can you offer
some advice?
Thanks in advance for any help
