Windows Updates keeps giving Admin error!

Every time I try to install windows updates, I keep
getting an error that says:

------
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.

I've followed all those instructions without any success.
I also went through many different troubleshooting tips
from the windows update troubleshooting page and couldn't
get it to work. I know that I'm using the admin account
and that all the permissions are on. Anyone know what
might be causing this?
Thanks a lot for the help!
