I just bought this used computer that has xp pro on it and every time that I
try to get auto updates I get a message that I am denied due to an
administrative setting. Iwent through the disable in gpedit but still
nothing. I've dropped the level of security on the windows firewall, still
nothing. Any suggestions?
 
See if these help any:

You receive an "Administrators only" error message when you try to visit
the Windows Update Web site or the Microsoft Update Web site
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/316524

You receive one or more error messages when the system administrator
disables Windows Update or Microsoft Update

If they do not resolve the situation, than post this issue to the
Windows Update newsgroup, Chuck:

First, try accessing the Windows Update site with IE. If/when it fails,
copy and past the last 50 or so lines of the WindowsUpdate.log into your
post and someone will attempt to assist you.

Start > Run > type in

%windir%\windowsupdate.log
Click OK or press Enter
