I am a nontechnical type so keep it simple, please. I have Micrososft Office
2002 XP
Apparently, Security Updates for Word 2002 (KB954463) and Office XP
(KB921596) do not install. I get a "Do you want to install new software
before closing" message every time I shut the computer off - saying "yes"
makes no difference. Error 0x80070641

Can anyone help?

Insert your Office 2002 CD into the appropriate drive bay before attempting
to install these updates.

If no joy, see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/304498 (ignore Methods 4, 6 &
12)

Simple - yikes. I have very limited technical knowledge and most of this is
just jibberish to me. I moved 2 years ago and have no idea where my CD might
be.
I have never had to use a CD before for updates.......
That list is overwhelming even if I ignore 4,6 and 12. Hard to follow any of
it and I am afraid I might delete something important................

Well, you could try to download the full-file version of every update from
the Download Center and then attempt to install them manually. Otherwise, I
think you're SOL.
