I've just loaded Office2k sp2 on a machine with sr1a already loaded. After installing I checked the Microsoft website to ake sure that there were no new updates, and 3 of the updates from sr1a were back saying that they needed to be installed again! The updates were the Outlook and Word email security patches. Any ideas?

It appears that the essential security updates were not included in your upgrade, and you overwrote the files that were associated with them when you installed Office 2k. I do not see a problem here. Just reinstall the Patches. Now if they disappear again then you have a real problem.

I just finished the SR-1a and SR-2 Office 2000 updates you mentioned and the same thing happened to me. I don't know what is happening, or for that matter how to proceed, but I wanted you to know you aren't the only one it happened to. Perhaps sincethe SR-2 is so new, there are a few on the MS gremlins remaining?

go to microosft site and check if the list of problems sp2 has fixed. if it is already included in the list then this is a much bigger problem and you shoul dreport to microsoft.

go to microsoft site and check if the list of problems sp2 has fixed includes the ones that are shown as not fixed. if it is already included in the list then you should report to microsoft.

however to fix your issue, down load the specific patches and install them.
