Windows Update for x64

Windows Update always gives me an error when trying to manually update from
the website. The error message says I may not have administrative
privilledges and I should try to 'run as' administrator.. but the login I'm
using is the only administrator on the machine.

FYI Critical Updates do automatically download -- it's just the windows
update website that doesn't work for me.

<mindreadingcapon> Is this XP ... was there a Repair Installation done ?
If yes, open a Command Prompt [Start>Run>type in cmd, Click OK] and then
type these commands in, pressing Enter after each one

net stop wuauserv
regsvr32 wups2.dll
net start wuauserv
exit

Yes, it is XP but there has been no repair installation done. I tried
registering the dll you suggested anyway, but that had no effect.

Any other ideas would be appreciated.
