    When I go to the Windows Update page, I get this message after attempting to connect....

    "Access Denied

    Network policy settings prevent you from using Windows Update to download and install updates on your computer.

    If you believe you have received this message in error, please check with your system administrator. "

    I'm running XP Pro on my computer, not attached to a network. Settings are all default. How do I fix this? I'd like to get the updates.
