While accessing Windows Update, the following error message appears:
Access Denied
Network policy settings prevent you from using Windows Update to download
and
install updates on your computer. If you believe you have received this
message in error,
please check with your system administrator.

Please follow these steps:

1. Click on Start, Run and type "REGEDIT" (w/o the quotes). The Registry
Editor will open.

WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that
may require you to reinstall Windows XP/2K. Microsoft cannot guarantee that
problems resulting from the incorrect use of Registry Editor can be solved.
Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

2. Navigate to the following key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\Windows
Update

3. You should see a key called "DisableWindowsUpdateAccess".

Check the data value for this key. In order to access the Windows Update
site, the data value should be a zero "0". If the value is set to a one
"1", then your PC is currently configured to DENY access to the Windows
Update site. You need to change the value of this key to a zero "0" to
allow your PC access to the site. To change the data value, double-click on
the key name and set the value to a zero "0".

4. Now navigate to this key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\Explore
r]

5. You should see a key called "NoWindowsUpdate".

Check the data value for this key. In order to access the Windows Update
site, the data value should be a zero "0". If the value is set to a one
"1", then your PC is currently configured to DENY access to the Windows
Update site. You need to change the value of this key to a zero "0" to
allow your PC access to the site. To change the data value, double-click on
the key name and set the value to a zero "0".

6. If you changed any of the data values, then close the registry editor,
reboot your PC and try the Windows Update site again.

This also will occur if the account that the user is using does not have
full permissions
to the Program Files\Windowsupdate\V4\Temp folder and the iuident.cab is not
in this folder.

I am able to download and istall all the updates except
for the "Windows XP service pack 1", which I need
installed in my computer so I can install my Norton
Utility's program. Thank you very much. Though It is
something else in regedit that does'n allow me to.

Victor.
