Windows Poxy Updat

Lump

Well when I try use windows update in IE... I get this error....

To install items from Windows Update, you must be logged on as an administrator or a member of the Administrators group. If your computer is connected to a network, network policy settings might also prevent you from completing this procedure

It's not a firewall issue.... I've tried all the fixesI can find on the MS site... nothing working. Anyone had similar problems?

Apparently this seems to have fixed some of the problems.

I had this problem. I tried accessing the updates as a user in the
administrators group and also as the administrator but every time I got
the
0x8DDD0002 error. I tried checking the policy settings and firewall
settings but there was nothing obvious.

I eventually checed the permissions on C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution and

subfolders. These folder appeared to have been changed so that not even
administrators had ANY access rights. I modifed the folder and sub
folders
to full access and I then got a 0x8DDD0018 error message. I set the
background Intelligent Transfer Service was set to Manual & Started. Then

set the Automatic Updates Service to Automatic and Started as the
knowledge
base suggested. It didn't seem to help but restarting these services
eventually seemed to clear whatever was causing the problem.

I hope this helps.

Spent ages trying to figure out what was downloading huge amounts of data to my Laptop the moment i connected to the net. I worked it out as automatic updates and disabled them.

I use the normal windows update site now.

I think the automatic updates are pretty handy, but I wouldn't let it automatically download updates. I just have it notifying me when new updates are available.

Automatic updates weren't causing the problem. The problem originated on the site. Never Mind, It's fixed now.
