Hi Bob,

I came across this, don't know if you've seen it already, any way it is in reference to the same error and MS Office.

Hi,
thank you, I had not seen that and with all the misunderstanding between them I would not have bothered, but, that was the problem. I found out one of the update details and went to the windows site, downloaded the update as a stand alone, and then tried to install it. I got an error message..."invalid... drive G..." I did not have a drive G and I tried to reinstall office but it kept saying the same error message. So I uninstalled office, reinstalled and updated without any problems.
So again, thank you for your help.

Glad to hear you got it sorted and you're quite welcome.
