I can't update this program even though windowds keeps telling me it's a priority update:

High-priority updates
Microsoft Office 2003



[URL="javascript:parent.fnExpandDetails(10)"]toc_expanded.gif[/URL] [URL="javascript:parent.fnExpandDetails(10);"]Security Update for Excel Viewer 2003 (KB936508)
[/URL]
Download size: 0 KB , 0 minutes (Downloaded; ready to install) info_16x.gif
A security vulnerability exists in Microsoft Office Excel Viewer 2003 that could allow arbitrary code to run when opening a malicious document. This update addresses that vulnerability.

Is there a problem with virus ect that wont let me update?

Thanks,

Pete.

    I can't seem to update this priority update for some reason:

    Anyone know what the problem might be? I thought it a little strange that the size is 0kb.

    Could it be down to a virus?

    I'm running XP with SP2.

    Thanks,

    Pete.

    Try to restart your PC and go onto http://www.update.microsoft.com/ and download updates from there.

    Are you getting a popup saying downloaded and ready to install? if yes, click it and then select to install it
