FAILED SECURITY UPDATE

Security Update for Office 2003 (KB954478)
Security Update for Microsoft Office 2003 (KB953404)

I HAVE MADE MULTIPLE MANUAL ATTEMPTS TO INSTALL THESE UPDATES. AUTOMATIC
UPDATE ATTEMPTS DAILY, BUT TO NO AVAIL. I SEE ON THE DISCUSSION GROUPS THAT
MANY ARE HAVING THE SAME DIFFICULTY. WHAT IS THE SOLUTION?

I'm having the same problem as well as others are.Tech Support couldn't fix
the problem which includes Easy Assist where support takes control of your
PC.Inserting the disk which has been suggested here doesn't work either.
