Outlook Very Unstable This Morning

Microsoft Heard My Computer Crying Out for SP3

Weird! Was just messing around the Microsoft Downloads website and clicked on the Windows Update website.

Failed Updates Again - KB932471 and Office 2007 SP1

I’m still getting failed updates for these two items. Anyone got any new suggestions for how to get these successfully installed yet?

Windows Update - Windows XP (KB934238)

Anyone else having problems with the KB934238 update installing on their machines? After a quick search I found a couple of posts about it and ended up just telling my machine to ignore the update.
