I have a machine I am working on that does the following first the system is
windows xp service pack 1

I cannot log in as administrator except in safe mode (I have set up the
login screen to the type in the username not click on the username) .

as the login users with all the administrator rights I cannot get into
internet options it tells me there I must be logged in as adminitrator.

I cannot as that user perform the windows update ( when I try to go there
the IE screen goes blank and says that it is done.

Any ideas would be helpfull
 
If you're running XP Home, you can only log on to the Built in Administrator account in Safe Mode. This is by design.

For Internet Options, see www.dougknox.com, Win XP Utilities, Windows XP Security Console. This utility can be used to control this restriction along with many others.
