Default Office Update site problem

I once again would like to thank Mike for helping with the Office XP problem
I had, but now I can't check for updates at the Office Update page. When I
click on the link to check for updates I get this:
The Office Update site is unable to check for updates on this computer. This
may be happening because of one of the following reasons:
List of 4 items
.. You do not have administrative privileges for this computer.
.. There is a network problem and the detection catalog used by the Office
Update site failed to download. Go back to the Downloads home page and try
running
detection again.
.. Windows Installer patch files (.MSP files) from previously applied Office
updates are missing from the \Windows\Installer hidden directory on your
computer.
MSP files are stored on your computer after update installation completes
because they need to be referenced for future update operations. If the
files
are missing you will not be able to apply Office updates. You may also be
unable to uninstall Office products as a result of the same problem. Please
contact
Microsoft Product Support Services
for assistance.
.. You installed Office updates in the past and then upgraded from Windows
Installer version 1.0 to Windows Installer version 1.1. For more information
see
the KB article
Windows Installer May Prompt for Install Source if Unavailable.

Now, would any of these things be a solution to fixing the office update
problem I'm having after I had to use Windows Install Clean-up to fix
office in the first place?
