Disable any spyware programs in the background, trust me it has happend to me.
Try installing one at a time.
They may not all install but 1 or 2 may. I have found that tring to install a bulk load of updates can fail.

Thank you! I will try and get back with you!

Hi roy69,

I right click and disable PC tools spyware doctor, also, G-Data, monitor and PrevX 3.0
Edge. Still would not install the 2007 Microsoft Office Suite Service Pack 2.

So, I did not try to install Security Update for Microsoft Powerpoint 2007 (KB957789)
(III.) Security Update for Mcirosoft XML Core Services 4.0 Service Pack 2 for X64
based System (KB954430). Until, I can install the 1st update.

One at time, the update get about 80%. Any suggestions?

Error code 57E is related to permission.
Try inserting the office cd before trying to update the software.
Try downloading the update to office manually :- Download details: The 2007 Microsoft Office Suite Service Pack 2 (SP2)
Download to desktop before installing. (This will also save you from having to download it again if it fails and is handy for a backup).

Thank you! Kind roy69! I will tried this in the next couple of days. I will let you know what happen! Any other suggestions?

Let us know how it went and we will go from there
Look at your event viewer if it does fail again, this may give a bit more info.
