Windows Update disabled

[Victor534]

Error message "Windows Update was disabled by your system administrator".
Article 326686 says to run gpedit.msc. Error msg says cannot find. Search
indicates has been removed from XP Home. How do I enable Windows Update.
Tried reinstal of Explorer but did not help.

Thanks for response but it did not work. Followed all steps - no problem,
but still get error message "Windows Update was disabled by your system
administrator" when I checked for updates.
