Hi Kenny_47,

There is no XP 2003; if you want to upgrade your XP from SP2 to SP3, download it from here:- http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=24

I would suggest to install the following updates before installing XP SP3:
  1. Windows Installer for XP from:- http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8483
  2. Download and install the Windows Update Agent: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/943144/en

Are you using a original Office 2003 CD?
Thanks,
Paul

Hi,

You would probably be better off posting a separate question if the Office forum regarding the issues you are having with Office...

http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2003

However, with regard to the Windows Updates errors that you are getting, i.e. 0x80244019 and 0x80240036, I can state that Windows Updates no longer works until you have service pack 3.

Before you install SP3 read this article…

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/950717

…and if your PC is an HP Pavilion, Presario or Media Center and has an AMD processor you need to install this patch before installing SP3…

http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?cc=uk&lc=en&dlc=en&softwareitem=pv-60484-2

…to find out if you have an AMD processor...

  • Hold down the Windows key (between Ctrl and Alt) and hit the Pause Break key
  • Your processor type is shown in the Computer: section

Then install SP3 by downloading and running from...

http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=24

…you can ignore the text that says that it is for network installations and also ignore the text advising Windows/Microsoft Update if only updating one PC.

Then try and get up to date with Windows Updates.

It may be that this fixes your Office issue but I am not confident of this. If it doesn't, post a new question in the Office forum (link above).

Tricky
