Error code 57E

I try to install some updates on windows update, but it fales. Get the error
code 57E. Don`t know what that is. Can sombody help?

Let's have a guess here, this error is usually associated with an update in
Office.

So, have you tried running a repair install of the Office version you are
using or reinstalling the Office version you are using?

Have you tried leaving the Office installation CD in the installation drive
prior to
updating your Office version?

If I haven't guessed correctly, perhaps you could tell us what operating
system you are using, and what updates are causing this problem.

Thank you.

Repeat if you did not read the following from TaurArian


Have you tried leaving the Office installation CD in the installation drive
prior and DURING to updating your Office version?

I tried to leave the Office installation CD in the instalation drive during
update of the SP3, and it worked. I had to download and install manualy, but
as long as it work it`s ok.
Thank you for all help..

0x0000057E ERROR_TLW_WITH_WSCHILD
Cannot create a top-level child window.

Which edition of Windows and what Service Pack level is it at ?

What toolbars are installed ?

The issue may be related to a toolbar blocking popups or other security
related software that blocks popups.

What is the installed antivirus/security suite/anti-malware software ?

Thanks for all your advice, but I am not very computer literate and wasn't
able to comprehend the advice put forward. Is there any simpler way of
understanding what "Error 57E" actually is?

To avoid confusion, please begin a new thread about your specific problems.
State your IE version and full Windows version (e.g., WinXP SP3; Vista SP2)
in your first post.
