| Member Rep Power: 4  |  Stopping updates for other products At some point I have pressed the 'receive updates for other products' on the Windows Update panel. I now have half a dozen updates for Office 2007 waiting for installation. I do not have Office 2007 - I do have Office 2000 and Works, so I don't see any point in downloading and installing these updates. I have tried hiding the updates, but because they are 'important' they reappear. Is there any way of deselecting the 'other products' option so I go back to only checking for Windows updates? |

If you bought it, are you sure you don't have a trial version of Office 2007 somewhere hidden there? 2) to change back - Windows Update --> Change settings (left hand side) --> Scroll down to bottom and uncheck Use Microsoft Update. |

 Member Rep Power: 67 | Re: Stopping updates for other products Hi Charlie, Have a look there: Office Update offers updates for Office programs that you do not have installed Anayway, did you untick them before hiding them? |

| Member Rep Power: 4 | Re: Stopping updates for other products Thanks for the replies. John: 1) It's a Dell Vostro and as far as I know there is no Office 2007 trial on there, but I'll check later. 2) If I uncheck that, then I won't be offered Windows updates, will I? Or does deselecting and reselecting put it back to the original state of asking whether I want other product updates? Sid: I'm sure I unticked first before hiding, but I'll check again when I get home. |

| Member Rep Power: 4 | Re: Stopping updates for other products Did the change back as advised by johngalt - did what I wanted.  No need to untick when hiding - I think I selected cancel instead of closing via the red cross -  Thanks for your help guys. |
