hey everyone.
Ive got an issue with Office update. Im running Office 2010 and this update is for Office 2007, naturally it wont update so is there anyway of removing it(without installing 2007 and then running the update)..

..not that its causing any issues but its irritating.

thanks alot!

It may be wise to set update on notify and then you can install. This way you have control over what is installed in the computer.
Personally, I install myself, ocassionally hide updates that I do not want installed, and install only a few at a time. Some have experienced problems setting update to automatic and having all installed at once.

Why would you be offered Office 2007 updates while you are running 2010 ?

Do you have a 2007 version still in your system, and is the 2010 version a " trial " variety ?

No I dont have 2007 components on my system and the 2010 version is complete version. i installed Service pack one yesterday, thats why i was a bit concerned looking a both 2007 and 2010 updates at the same time.

anyway I've hidden it for the moment. Thanks for the help ilikefree, and thanks for putting up the tuturial, i learned a lot from that also.

Cheers

Thanks for the kind words, you may also be interested in these hints on maintenance
To maintain your computer

10 Tips on How to Properly Maintain Your Computer

Steps that I did not notice on the guide include:

Running a scan disc before doing a defrag

Using Microsoft Security Essentials and Malwarebytes.

Making System Restore points, at least once a week

Makaing a system Image once a month (varies by user)

Not relying on your A/V common sense, should prevail. You know of many sites can cause a problem.

Do not use any reg cleaning or optimizing software.

Download and use Ccleaner about once every two months. Untick any registry entries.

If you follow these instructions, you will be trouble free for a long time to come.

Be sure to back up your hard drive about once a month (varies by user) and to keeep system restore points up to date.
