Running XP and Firefox.
I have used two (pirated) copies of Office 2007. The vendor assures me that
they work fine.
I sent a copy to a mate, he has no problems with it.
Office 2007 works, but I cannot install any updates. They download but fail
to install.
Is there an easy fix?

Mrs. Culpepper was almost in tears. "Oh Marie," she said to her maid, "I have reason to suspect that my husband is having an affair with his secretary."
"I don't believe it for one minute." Marie snapped. "You're just saying that to make me jealous."

The bootleg copies are cracked and if you would try to update them
you'd lose the activation and be rendered with a useless copy.

That generally means software that's been hacked to avoid activation

If you steal something you probably should not complain about it
and thus my "sheesh"
To avoid such issues one of course can use Open (or Libre) Office
it's a free alternative to MS Office

however it is not 100% compatible with MS Office so I understand that
that could be a problem.
If I simply need to create a document...no problem
but If I need to work with an MS Office document,
some of the formatting is different at times.
As to the OP's problem...I'd just leave it without the updates
I can't imagine what real difference it would make

2) I think you're talking about the OP complaining of crashing. He posted a few threads - look at the others, if it isn't in there, he might have told me directly in email.

Get a license for your Office 2007. Microsoft has protections to keep
people from updating pirated software. Same thing happens with Windows and
even Media Player. That's what you get for stealing. At least they were
kind enough to let your run Office 2007 in the first place because they
could have written the code to lock you out entirely.

So you ADMIT that Open Office is not as good as Microsoft Office (I agree),
and yet you support pirating of Microsoft software. So, you want to take
away income from Microsoft, a company that treats its employees well, and
always has treated them well, employs tens of thousands of people within the
United States, and supports boatloads of charity causes. You should be
ashamed of yourself for being such an asshole.
