I also have run into the same situation. I've logged in as local admin,
domain admin & enterprise admin. Changing the local security settings as
suggested above did not help either. I'm doing this on a newly formated pc
with W2K but have users with XP who cannot get the updates to patch the
security holes. Please inform me of the solution.

Thanx.
