Have you looked at your windows update log?

Following is only a basic first-pass checklist of settings for Internet Explorer browser, tailored for smoother entry into Windows Update.
It is NOT a cure-all !

Make sure this is not running a 3rd-part Popup-Ad remover, or any anonymizer.

1. In Internet Explorer browser > select Tools, click Internet Options, and then click
Languages....
If this box is empty, add at least one language -- your usual national
language.
If you happen to have 2 or more, move English up on this list.

2. Disengage your Discussion Bar in Internet Explorer: Click View on
main IE menu.
Point to Explorer Bar.
If "Discuss" has a check mark, click Discuss to *remove the check mark*
and clear it.
You may note, if the discussion bar is active, it would appear near the
bottom of IE window.

3. I. E. Tools >Internet Options > Advanced Tab > (scroll down thru
the list)

These are "some" of the items that I do have CHECKed (selected):
Under HTTP 1.1 settings --
Use HTTP 1.1 (ON / Selected)
+ Enable / check to use HTTP 1.1 with proxy servers **** <<----

and under Security :

Clear (un-check) the check box next to "Check for server certificate
revocation" . ( *OFF* )

Use SSL 2.0 (ON / selected)
Use SSL 3.0 (ON)

4. Internet Explorer > Tools > Internet Options > Connections Tab Click
on LAN Settings > * Uncheck* the Automatically detect settings.
Make sure _no other_ settings on this screen are enabled.

5. Internet Explorer > main menu /Tools/Internet Options >

Security Tab/ click on green icon Trusted Sites/click Sites button.

Look very closely at line that says:

"Require server verification (https for all sites in this zone" to
*clear* the selection.
(e.g. You want that to be un-checked (un-ticked)).

In the "Add this Web site to the zone:" field, add these entries to
list of "Trusted Sites" --

type
http://*.download.windowsupdate.com (click Add)

http://update.microsoft.com

http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com


Click OK. Apply changes to IE browser.

Do post back here and let us know if this helped.

Hi Knghtryyder,

I am responding to your post, as I am having the very same problem you are
having, and I tried the suggestions posted by Maurice N. and I have had no
luck either. I am using Windows 98se and I am getting the administrator
window too.

My husband says it's almost like Windows Update thinks I have XP as my
operating system, when I don't.

See http://support.microsoft.com/Default.aspx?kbid=909889 (ignore the
title).

The fix detailed in 909889 involving the Registry and OLE32.DLL has fixed
this problem for other Win98 users and is available at

- http://patch-info.de/IE/Downloads/OLEfix.zip, and/or

- http://www.dougknox.com/xp/utils/kb896688_fix.zip (a small VB app that
checks the 4 values and offers a repair option if any of them are
incorrect).

Disconnected network PC's and put win 98 pc direct to modem
cleared cookies, temp, and temp internet files and cleared history
Got same screen Administrators only
I think i might be missing a file (GUID)
Any more suggestions?
