I have a P4 PC running Windows and Office XP. Recently, when I've tried to go to Windows Update the screen comes up with the 'Checking for latest version......' and doesn't go any further. Also, when I go into Office Update, it tells me that I've got Office for Mac installed and advises that I go to the Mactopia site. The Windows XP and Office XP installations are retail and the updates worked before. I've also checked for virus but don't have any. Does anyone know how to rectify this problem

Thanks!
 
Hi

Open any app. in Office and then go to Help>About. What version does it say
you are using? You may like to try the following links to post your Q to:

and just in case :-))

Tried it in Word and it says Microsoft Word 2002 (10.6612.6626) SP3. As I said, it's a retail version of Office XP Developer and retail Windows XP home which updated fine until a couple of weeks ago.
 
Hi

OK - try the Office Update link I posted - your version with SP3 installed
would seem to be the latest, but there may be a Security/Critical Update
available.
