WinUpdate Problems

[AlfaLisboa]

I would like to use winupdate but I get "Administrator's only"
warning/error message. I'm the only user, I do have an adm profile, and
another with my name followed by /administrator in it. I tried to delete
the "administrator" one but can't, this has my name in it also, like
adm/name. When I do the start/winupdate right click run as... it just
goes back to the same warning. The reason that I can't use the adm
profile is that I don't have IE setup in it with my cable connection.
Any help will be mch appreciated, thanks.

Forgot to mention that I also get ActiveX controls not active due to
security controls, is it relevant??

Thanks for the help, got it going by resetting activex defaults for now,
will look for a solution without activex.
