I followed your suggested steps but as soon as I tried for updates other than
Windows itself I got the
"To install updates from this website, you must be logged on as an
administrator or a member of the Administrators group on your computer. If
you use Windows XP, you can see if you are an administrator by going to User
Accounts in Control Panel.
Note: If your computer is connected to a network, network policy settings
might also prevent you using this website. Contact your system administrator
for help with updates."
Why is this particular website is ok to get updates for Windows but not for
other Microsoft products like Office?
