I keep getting an update to install for windows, but it will not install ..
the error message is 0000078F (something to do with Microsoft office 2007?)
Any suggestions?

Always start your own new thread about your problems, nightone.

That being said and assuming you're *not* getting 78F errors...

Updates are not installed successfully from Windows Update, from Microsoft
Update, or by using Automatic Updates after you repair a Windows XP
installation:

NB: Also applies to clean installs, upgrade installs, and Recovery installs.
