| | Re: Vista Ultimate Windows Update Problem with Office 2003 Service Pack 3 (SP3) Do you have any Office document viewers installed? They use much the same technology and code base that their full-fledged counterparts use, thus needing the same updates. -- Richard G. Harper [MVP Shell/User] rgharper@xxxxxx * NEW!

| | RE: Vista Ultimate Windows Update Problem with Office 2003 Service Pac Stone: I have WinXP MCE 2005 with Office 2007. Received and installed same update referencing Office 2003. Was curious at the time, but allowed the update and everything is working correctly. But since I have your attention, I'm considering getting an HP high-end computer with Vista Ultimate. HP only offers 64-bit Ultimate for these computers. I'm studying like mad to make sure my important software (like Office 2007) and external hardware (like an HP external hard drive and wireless printer and a Sony DVD/cd burner (DRX 700 UL) will still work on the 64-bit. So far, feeling pretty good about the printer (per HP) but can't seem to find any information about the burner working with 64-bit Ultimate. Do you have any experience with external devices since you have Vista Ultimate 64-bit? Would love to hear pro or con. Thanks.

| | Re: Vista Ultimate Windows Update Problem with Office 2003 ServicePac You should Google for "DRX 700 UL" and also "DRX 700UL" to find some experiences posted. It depends on what you're expecting from the burner. Apparently it doesn't work to well for installing an OS. Judith wrote: Quote: > Stone: I have WinXP MCE 2005 with Office 2007.

| | Re: Vista Ultimate Windows Update Problem with Office 2003 Service Thanks, Theo. Have done this but maybe need to spend more time on it. Nothing much comes up. It is an older burner, but a great burner. Keeping my WinXP computers anyway; therefore, will be keeping the burner for them.
