I just installed Win XP Pro everything seems (and I stress seems) to be working fine.... Just one problem when I try to logon to windows update it gives me an error saying I need to log on as a admin. Go to update right click use password etc etc, well I've tried that and it still dosn't work. I'm curious if anyone else has had the same problem or not. Is there a setting I'm missing? I am connected through direcpc (don't laugh I know it sucks) Very interested in what anybody has to say that might help. :0

Go to the control panal and click on user accounts and see if you are using the admin account. It looks like you might have set up the admin and then set up another. If you cannot log on as admin you may have to reinstall windows.

If you ever stop learning then your dead!!

I had to click through at least 6 times to get it to work. I just ignored the error since I knew I had admin rights.
