From: Philippians 4:4-8 on
I have received the following 7 Automatic Windows Updates (even tried them
as manual updates) several times in the past 2 days (2-19 and 2-20-2007):

Office 2003 Update for Outlook 2003 Junk Email Filter (KB924885)
Office 2003 Security Update for Office 2003 (KB929064)
Office 2003 Update for PowerPoint 2003 (KB929060)
Office 2003 Update for Office 2003 (KB925251)
Office 2003 Security Update for Word 2003 (KB929057)
Office 2003 Update for Excel 2003 (KB929058)
Office 2003 Security Update for Office 2003 (KB920813).

They download without a hitch, but never install correctly...all 7 updates
result in a "Failed" status with Error Code 0x80070643.

My entire system has been very slow and unstable since the repeated
downloads, even though they have not been installed. Anyone with a solution
on how to install these updates - I would GREATLY appreciate it!

I apologize for not providing the following information with my question
above: I am using Windows XP for Home with SP2 on a Compaq Presario Desktop
PC, 1 GB RAM, DSL connection, and use Oficce 2003 as my staple applications.
Thank you.

Do you use a registry cleaner? If so, you may want to undo changes made in
past couple of months OR see the following article on how to fix your
registry: http://support.microsoft.com/?id=884298

I recently began using a different registry cleaner, feeling the new
application was more throrough. Sounds like it may be too thorough! I will
read the article you recommended. Thx for the help!

I'm having the exact same problem! I'm running XP Pro. I've tried everything
except reinstalling Office 2003 and I'm not about to do that.

I do wish someone had an answer. I've wasted numerous hours trying to track
the problem down.
