Gary - did you ever get an answer to this?

My WinME machine has been getting updates every week for a couple years -
today it says "Administrators Only" ... this is WinME... there ARE no
admistrators!

I've spent hours on the Knowledge Base and tried all the registry fixes...
they don't work. Help!

I found the answer to my question in the MS data base, I had to delete two
dll files then I was able to get windows updates.
