I can download these files....then I get this error
'you do not have permission to update windows XP...please contact your
ssytem admin'

Running the files as local admin still produces the same error message....

Try the following:

Go to Start > Run and type: SecPol.msc , and hit Enter.

Then go to "Local Policies > User Rights Assignment"

Verify that the "Administrators" group is a member of the following
policies:

Back up files and directories
Debug programs
Manage auditing and security log
Restore files and directories
Take ownership of files or other objects

If you are running Windows XP Home Edition,
log on as the Administrator, then visit the Windows
