Windows Update Catalog

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

I'm having trouble accessing the Windows Update Catalog.

I click on 'Use administrator options' in Windows Update then click on the
Windows Update Catalog link. I'm then taken to a page telling me how to log
on as Administrator. Problem is I'm already logged in as an Administrator!

Cn anyone tell me how I can access Windows Update Catalog please

Thanks

When I go there a page is displayed called Administrators only. It explains
that you need to be logged on as administrator and how to do so.

Any other ideas?
