Windows x64 Preview Edition: Windows Update error, Administrators

I'm having a problem with Windows XP 64-Bit Preview Edition. A visit to
Windows Update yields an error message regarding access to the page to
"Administrators Only". I have tried logging in as the Administrator, creating
a new account with administrative privileges, and using the "Run As..."
command on the Windows Update shortcut on the Start Bar, and unchecking "Run
with Restricted Access." I have tried turning off DEP under System
properties, disabling Windows Firewall, and my Proxy. I have tried turning
security settings down to the bare minimum, and using the Windows Update
Troubleshooter. All to no avail. I am still experiencing the same error.

If you know how to correct this, please share any insight you may have
regarding the problem. I'm running an AMD Athlon 64 3000+ CPU and Windows XP
64-Bit Preview Edition, version 2003, Service Pack 1, .1218.

Thanks in advance.

Try the 64 bit newsgroups:

The server newsgroup is correct.

I do not think there are any updates for this pre-release product, and
doubt there will be other than newer builds.
