My problem is that for some reason Windows update does not think i am the computer administrator, and i am without a doubt. Even creating another account with administrative privledges i still get im not an administrator when going to the windows update site.
I found this in an earlier thread......
Just talked to a network adm. friend who ran into this same problem with 2000. He said the reason was when you try the very first time to update and are not logged in under administrator, it puts some file somewhere and so now even under adm. it still sees that file. All you have to do is delete the file and all should be well. I will do a search at MS's Knowledge base for it later tonite. Will post if it fixes it.
Any ideas what file or what to try to remedy this, i dread having to reformat and start all over again. tia
