Hello
I have a dell dimension xps t600r 128K Ram, win98/sp1. Recently, I started having problems using the windows - update utility located on the start menu. it seems that I can successfully get out to the ''windows update'' but then I keep getting the following error:

Administrators Only
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 may also prevent you from completing this procedure.
Note If you are running a Windows 2000 (except DataCenter), Windows XP, or Windows Server 2003 operating system, you can run the local administrator account on your computer without having to log off and then log on again.
To run as the local administrator in Windows XP or Windows Server 2003:
Click Start, and then click All Programs (or right-click Windows Update if it is available).
Right-click Windows Update.
Click Run as on the menu that appears.
Do one of the following:
Enter the password for the administrator.
Enter the user name, domain name, and password of a different user account that has administrative permissions on this computer.
To run as the local administrator in Windows 2000:
Click Start, right-click Windows Update, and then click Run As on the menu that appears.
Do one of the following:
Enter the password for the administrator.
Enter the user name, domain name, and password of a different user account that has administrative permissions on this computer.
If the option to run as the local administrator is not available:
Click Start, right-click Windows Update, and then click Properties.
Click the Shortcut tab, and then select the Run as different user check box.
You can also get online support if you are having problems with Windows Update.
-----------------------
I have been on the phone with microsoft but it's seems to be a lost cause with them. Then got me so lost and then they told me that there would be a charge for any additional help. I would appreciate any help I can get on the fixing of this error.
Thank you
