Oh what am I to do?

Running Windows 7 Professional on my laptop and this windows update keeps failing. What can I do to get it to update?

I've tried manualling installing it and it still fails.....
I've tried the windows update fixer and it still fails .....

When I check windows update log I get the following error code 80070643

Does it have something to do with the fact I don't have Powerpoint 2007 installed? I have Office 2003 installed.

Buy your bananas in bunches of 5 on Sunday. Then arrange them in order of ripeness and write a day of the week on each banana in felt pen, Monday on the ripest, Friday on the greenest to save time making those decisions on a hectic weekday morning

    Without looking at the KB , try control panel / troubleshooting select problems with Windows Updates that may help
