Hi all,

I have a windows XP Pro machine that will not allow me access to the
Automatic updates service. Even if I log on in safe mode as Administrator!!

If I try to access this service I get and "Error 5: Access is Denied"

The machine had various viruses on it which I have cleaned off, I tried
updating to service pack 2 but this just made it worse so uninstalled it
again.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated

Terry
