I cannot install any of my updates in "Windows Updates" I have 10 critical
ones that I have been trying to install for the past week. I have gotten this
message one time(TO INSTALL ITEMS FROM WINDOW UPDATES, YOU MUST BE LOGGED ON
AS AN ADMENISTRATOR OR A MEMBER OF THE ADMENISTRATION GROUP IF YOUR COMPUTER
IS CONNECT TO A NETWORK, NET POLICY SETTINGS MIGHT PREVENT YOU FROM
COMPLETING THIS PROCEDURE"
Otherwise, the page just freezes and I have to bring up task manager to get
the page off. I have called, and e-mailed all help sites from, HP, Microsoft,
aol, have had no help.....Is there anyone out there that can help me?
Thanks barbie
 
I had a similar problem and someone recommended the following, which worked
for me:

Please verify that your account has the following required permissions. This
can be verified by launching the "Local Security Settings" policy editor.
Type the following command to launch this editor:

secpol.msc

Go to "SecPol.msc > Local Policies > User Rights Assignment"

The following permissions are required:
1. Back up files and directories
2. Debug programs
3. Restore files and directories
4. Manage auditing and security log
5. Take ownership of files or other objects
