     Norman,
     
     If you're not using mapped network drives (mowst likely, not) then try
     these resolutions :
     
     If you have an anitivirus program that has a script blocking component
     than temp disable it prior to accessing Windows Update . 3rd party
     software such as pop-up | cookie | ad blockers, so-called internet
     accelerators , and download managers may also interfere with the
     installation of the software (ActiveX) controls.
     Reenable any of the above after installation of any updates and required
     rebooting.
     ==========================================================================
     
     http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/troubleshoot/
     Under : Problem reaching Windows Update
     See : Error 0x80070005 in the Windows Update.log file and updates fail
     to install from the site
     
     " If you are using the NTFS file system on your hard drive(s) then try
     these steps.
     Check permissions on the C:\WUTemp folder (if you have more than one
     hard drive, check this folder on each drive).
     
     1. Open Windows Explorer.
     2. Navigate to the C:\WUTemp folder.
     3. Right-click on the folder name and select Properties from the popup
     menu.
     4. Click on the Security tab.
     5. Set Full Control access for the following accounts:
     
     Users
     Power Users
     Administrators
     
     6. Click Apply, then OK.
     7. Now try accessing the Windows Update site.
     
     (NOTE: Also check the Program Files\Windows Update\V4 folder for it's
     permissions)
     =======================================================================
     
     1. Click on Start, Run and type "REGEDIT" (w/o the quotes). The
     Registry Editor will open.
     
     *WARNING*
     
     Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that may
     require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot
     guarantee that problems
     resulting from the incorrect use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use
     Registry Editor at your own risk.
     
     2. Navigate to the following key:
     
     HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate
     
     3. On the upper menu, click on Edit, and select Permissions from the
     drop-down list.
     4. Give Administrator (And / Or System) Full Control and Read
     permissions by checking the allow boxes. NOTE: In certain instances
     these boxes are grayed out. Insure that all accounts have appropriate
     permissions.
     5. Click Apply, then OK.
     6. Close the Registry Editor.
     7. If you had to make any changes, then try the Windows Update site and
     see if the error persists.

>>> Please remember that there is no on screen indication of an error - it is simply that after starting to initiate Windows update the system "checks", somehow finds that I am not the administrator and so switches me to a page which basically tells me to log on as an administrator. Frustrating. I have been moving update files between machines using a 0.5Meg USB 2 plug in device so (I hope) I have not missed any necessary updates. However, I should not have to work this way.
>> Thanks Norman
