Hi all, I did a clean install of windows today (from an image i made) and have been spending all day reinstalling my software. I also took the opportunity to install Office 2010 for the 1st time.

The problem is when I go to windows update, updates are showing up for Office 2007 but it's office 2010 i have installed :confused:

I believe it is due to Visual Studio 2008 - it has some Office 2007 components.

Ahh, ok so it's safe to install them?

MS wouldn't offer them if it would do any harm!

That is a leap of faith

Very few updates have ever caused a problem. Believe it or not they do in fact get tested

I know, my pathetic attempt at humour.
