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.

When trying to access the Windows Update Website you receive “Administrator onlyâ€
error message WinXP only

"Administrators Only" Error Message When You Attempt to Use the Windows Update Site
WinXP Home & WinXP Pro, Windows XP Tablet PC Edition, Windows XP Media Center

Another cause for Administrator only message can occur if a program on your computer
is intercepting the Windows Update process.
