OK folks. Got everything cleaned but still cannot access Windows Update. I've got XP (grrrr) and it's asking for an "administrator". Guess what? I am the administrator. I've tried everything and still nothing.

So, I give up for tonight. I'm going to go watch CSI:Miami and then to sleep.

See you all in the morning!

Ruthy, make sure your account has "Administrator" privileges. If you're using the Administrator account already, then I'm clueless!

Rosie, hope the new job possibility turns out to be something worthwhile... even if it starts in the evenings there may be the chance of moving to a different shift after you've been there a little while.

I'm tired, so I think I'm going to do the sensible thing and go to bed (even though it is early for me!)

Good night all!

Go into the users admin module. Make your current profile name a member of the "Admins" group. That should do it.
