Hi I am having trouble with Windows Update - Says you
need to be the administrator (which I am). However,
followed advice and tried to change the log on but update
still does not recognise the primary user as an
administrator.

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