Problem with windows update, system restore and administrative priviliges
Hi,
I am experiencing three problems with my XP system, which I am guessing are related: 1. I installed "The Movies" (a popular game) but it won't start, stating that I have to log on with administrative privileges, even though my user account does have administrative privileges. 2. When I go to Windows Update, it fails and I get error number 0x8DDD0002 and a message stating I must be logged on as an administrator, even though I am already logged on as an administrator. 3. When I use the System Restore wizard to try to restore my system to an earlier state, select a restore point and click "Next", nothing happens. This is true no matter which restore point I select. I tried the steps recommended in article 316524 (http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=316524) but they had no effect. Suggestions? mash |
