billhorne99, have you looked at the descriptions of those updates? If I go to the Office Update page, it tells me I still have 7 "Required Updates". But, when I read the descriptions, I really don't see the need for them. One of them, Update for Office 2003 (KB925251), reads as follows: "Microsoft has released an update for Microsoft Office 2003. This update addresses the change from the Slovenian national currency to the euro." I see no need for that.
Update for PowerPoint 2003 (KB929060) reads, "Microsoft has released an update for Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2003. When you edit a Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007 presentation that is saved on a SharePoint Portal Server site or on a Windows SharePoint Services site, the changes are not saved." I am not using PowerPoint 2007 and I do not save PowerPoint presentation on a SharePoint Portal Server site or on a Windows SharePoint Services site. So, here again, I see no need for it.
Likewise, the others also seem unnecessary. I know this doesn't actually resolve your issue, but it may be worth considering.
