Well, you have a few options at your disposal:

1. Begin a new thread in microsoft.public.outlook.general newsgroup (and
perhaps crosspost to microsoft.public.officeupdate newsgroup). Ask why
you're being offered updates for OL 2003 when it's not installed and how you
can stop them from being offered;

2. Change your Automatic Updates* setting to the Notify Only (third) option.
After doing so, you will have to approve which updates are downloaded, which
updates are installed and when they're installed. When an OL update is
offered, decline to download it and "hide" it; or...

3. Go to Microsoft Update | Click on Change Settings in left pane | Scroll
to bottom of page | To Stop Using Microsoft Update | Disable Microsoft
Update software and let me use Windows Update only (check).

With Windows Update as your default, you will not be offered any Office
updates but you will need to check in at Office Update to keep your other
Office applications fully patched:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/do...incatalog.aspx. When you
check in at Office Update, decline any OL updates offered.

Good luck!
