If running XP Pro...
To enable access to the Windows Update Web site, follow these steps:
1. Log on to the computer as a local administrator.
2. Click Start, click Run, type gpedit.msc, and then click OK.
3. In the left pane, expand User Configuration, and then expand
Administrative Templates.
4. Expand Windows Components, and then click Windows Update.
5. In the right pane, right-click Disable and remove links to Windows
Update, and then click Properties.
6. Click Disabled, click Apply, and then click OK.
If running XP Home...
If editing the Registry manually isn't to your liking click here for a small
Visual Basic Script that will make the change for you.

Warning Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly
by using Registry Editor or by using another method. These problems might
require that you reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee
that these problems can be solved. Modify the registry at your own risk.

2. Expand HKEY_CURRENT_USER, expand Software, expand Microsoft, expand
Windows, expand CurrentVersion, and then expand Policies.
3. If the Windows Update key exists, click Windows Update.
4. In the right pane, if the DisableWindowsUpdateAccess DWORD value exists,
right-click DisableWindowsUpdateAccess, and then click Delete.
5. Expand HKEY_CURRENT_USER, expand Software, expand Microsoft, expand
Windows, expand CurrentVersion, and then expand Policies.
6. If the Explorer key exists, click Explorer.
7. In the right pane, if a DisableWindowsUpdateAccess DWORD exists,
right-click DisableWindowsUpdateAccess, and then click Delete.
8. In the right pane, if a NoWindowsUpdate DWORD value exists, right-click
NoWindowsUpdate, and then click Delete.
9. Expand HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, expand Software, expand Microsoft, expand
Windows, expand CurrentVersion, and then expand Policies.

I received both errors and followed the fix with no change. What do I
need to do to change the registry?

My windows update icon is gone and when I go to the site for updates it
states that system admin has disabled this feature. I am system admin
and ran gpedit.msc to change this, still nothing. No icon and denied
updates. Turned off firewall and Norton and still same message. What
am I missing, do I need to reinstall XP Pro?
Thanks for any help!!
