I did have my concerns about reactivation and whether it would prevent me from a) reinstalling or b) detect that the product was already activated and hence not reactivate. Reactivation was not a problem, in fact I never saw anything, but the products work perfectly fine. I cleared the TIF, cookies and other Internet Explorer junk and rescanned with no difference.ДЎ) How do I ensure that the MS Office Update site shows (what I believe is) the correct configuration of my Office XP products?Дў) How do I determine from my PC what Office XP updates are really installed?

I then proceeded to download the SP3 patch itself from Microsoft and install that and it tells me 'The update has already been applied or is included in an update that has already been applied.' - quite right it is too. However, several updates have been installed and are listed.

I verified the 'already installed updates' from the Office XP Update site and it seems to agree that the above 2 mentioned updates haven't been installed. OK, perhaps my SP3 update needs updating? I downloaded the SP3 update with no problems but the installation fails without giving any indication why. Today, I go to MS Office Update to check to see if there are any further updates and it claims that SP3 and KB833858 need to be installed one after the other. show version SP3 but cannot find any record of the KB updates. All the about screens of Word, Excel, etc. I had updated my version of Office XP Pro on Windows 98 using the MS Office Update site at Microsoft successfully and installed SP3 and 2 KB updates.
