Microsoft Works?

I am running Windows XP Professional Version 2002 Service Pack 3.

I also run Microsoft Works v4.5 for Win 95 and it does exactly what I need
it for.
I do have a new version of Works but it does not do what I need it to do as
easily.

Everything was fine until I received two Security Updates:

Security Update for Microsoft Works 8 (KB956483);
Security Update for Microsoft Works 8 (KB959487).

If I allow these updates then the Old version no longer works.

Is there anything that I can do to allow automatic updates AND still use the
Old version of Works?

Thanks.
 
G'day,
I am sure you can, pop over to the MSWorks Newsgroup,
or search through (That NG's ) archives through Google.
It has been addressed before.
I am a MSWorks afficianado, and used it for 12 odd years,
Version 4.5a is the best IMHO, subsequent versions
were all downgrades.
I have 4.5a on my XP and it works fine.

Perhaps after the security updates just reinstall 4.5a
It only takes about 3 minutes or so.
HTH
 
Don't allow those two updates to install.

Change your autoupdate to inform you when any updates are ready to install.

You then use "custom" install and de-select those two. Let the rest
install.
