Microsoft keeps sending me notices that there are updates
for my system. I have Windows 98 and when I go to Windows
Update I get "Administrator Only". How do I get to the
updates for my system from that screen or what do I have
to do to get updates? I can't find any answer with FAQ.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Windows Update Problems:

Troubleshooter: http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/troubleshoot/

Newsgroup: microsoft.public.windowsupdate or if you access the newsgroups
with Internet Explorer, scroll down the Community List to Other Newsgroups,
click it and Windows Update, General. Posting to the correct newsgroup will
probably be more beneficial

I think that your copy of Windows 98 has to be registered
with Microsoft in order use Windows Update.
