I am running XP media center edition updated two weeks ago. I am running
Windows Live Onecare. Windows Live Onecare and my updater continually ask me
to check for updates. When I check, they are updates for office, outlook,
etc, programs I don't have. How can/do I change my updater settings to quit
asking for me to updates these programs?

Office Update offers updates for Office programs that you do not have installed
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/830335/

Your choice is to either use Windows Update to access only the updates for Windows or use
Microsoft Update to access updates for both Windows and other Microsoft products.
Microsoft Update with expand over time to deliver more updates for Microsoft Products.

If you decide to opt-out of Microsoft Update, go to the Microsoft Update homepage and
choose "Change Settings", scroll down the page until you see the option to "Stop using
Microsoft Update" and select the "Disable Microsoft Update software.." Checkbox and click
"Apply changes now"
