I can't install any more updates from windowsupdate.com. I tried
downloading and manually installing just one of the updates
(KB841873). It didn't work. I got the error "You do not have
permission to update Windows XP. Please contact your system
administrator."

I've tried to log in as both a domain admin and local admin. I've
even removed the laptop from the domain and tried again from the local
admin account. No dice.

I can't see any local security policies that would prevent this from
working. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Dave Cattapan
 
If this is a security issue on your network and it looks suspiciously as
though it is, you should try this question on the windowsxp.network_web
newsgroup.
