Windows Updating something not there?

OK, I'm doing Microsoft Update, Windows and Office combined, but no, I do not
have Works on the machine, and my office version is 2003.

Then I don't know why you are getting failed updates for Office XP
components. I suggest you crosspost to the Windows Update and the MS
Office newsgroups, perhaps to here:

microsoft.public.windowsupdate
microsoft.public.officeupdate
