The only time I had this happen, I was able to resolve the problem by going direct to the Microsoft update number link and installing the update directly.

There's a link to more details which tells you what the update is for, and this will usually give you the number. Alternatively, you may find there's a link to failed updates, and again it usually gives you all we need to know. George. -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Jackie Cairns Sent: 24 November 2010 12:34 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: Windows Update security error George, sorry, you've lost me. Where would I find the update number? I've never encountered any update issues before, so please forgive me for being rather senior about this. I simply install all the updates, and it generally happens, except with this one relating to MS Office which I think was issued on 9 November. Sorry I can't be more specific.

Whenever I have updates to install on my Windows 7 Home Premium laptop, every one of them installs except one which keeps telling me to try again, and gives me the following error code: Code 80070663. It appears to relate to an Office 2003 patch, but no matter how many times I try installing this update, I am sent round in a circle. Does anyone know how I can install it, and what it is actually meant to do? Presumably it is something to prevent malicious code or a security vulnerability patch, but I'm beat with trying to get this in. I have no such problems on my Windows Vista laptop or my XP Netbook, and have all three machines set to take every update automatically. Thanks for any help.
