Hi,

On my XP machine I was able to use the Office Update tool to download Office 2000 updates. However, Microsoft don't allow you to do this with Windows Vista (for some reason), so I have to download them manually.

My question is - as there are 2 pages of updates I could download, do I have any way of identifying the ones I need?

For example, there's a SP2 download, but also a SP3 download. Can I assume that the SP3 download includes all the fixes that were in SP2?

This is such a pain, as I will never know if I have installed them correctly as they will always appear in the "Manual Download" list!, unlike when I could use the Office update tool!

Office 2000 Service Packs are not cumulative. Therefore install SP1, then SP2, then SP3.

The new microsoft windows update now does all microsoft applications as well as the operating system. Please run the update and see what it does for office.

Hi,

This is the problem I am having - Office 2000 updates are not automatically installed with Windows Update when you're using Vista. They were in XP though.

Thanks for the advice about the service packs, I will give it a try.
