    How to remove failing Updates ?


    Friday 7/26/13 I got downloaded 2 Windows Updates repeatedly failing to be installed:
    - 2007 Microsoft Office Suite Service Pack 3 (SP3)
    Error Code 80246007
    and
    - Security Update for Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007 (KB2596764)
    Error Code 57E
    Since then repeated (unsuccessful) installation-attempts are causing undue delays at every System Start and Shutdown but there seems to be no easy way to get those burdensome pieces of update-code either installed or (if not installable at all) removed/deactivated.
    Could anybody be helpful to solve this problem ?
