When Windows trys to download updates I get the error
message "To install items from Windows Update, you must be
logged on as an administrator " This is a stand alone
computer not attached to a network. The update program
worked last time a few months ago.

What do I need to do?

Thanks

Go directly the Windows Update site
http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/en/default.asp

Clear your cache. Delete all temporary internet files and cookies. Make
sure your system time and date is correct.

Alternative way to download Windows and other updates. Use Bigfix.
