How Can I Speed Up Windows?: How Can You Fix - Auto update failed for Excel 2003 (KB959995)?

Auto update failed for Excel 2003 (KB959995)

After the initial update indicated an important update had failed I tried again.
It too failed, and I got the error code 80070643.
That directed me to go to Services and check the Office Service Engine, and set it for automatic - delayed start, and start
it.
However, I found that it was running OK, but did change the setting to automatic - delayed start and left it running.
I then rebooted the PC in case any of the other updates was conflicting with this one.

I then tried to install the update again from Windows Update, and again it failed with the same error code.
I again checked services and the OSE is running fine.
Help!
