Thanks for the information.
Is there a difference between logging in as administrator and running a
program, and right-clicking and run as administrator ?
Otherwise, i do not believe this has something to do with my problem...
In normal circumstances you will be logged on as a user, not as an
(full)administrator, and that user should be able to do his Windows-updates,
isn't it ?

It's clear that i'm not the only one with this problem, but i cannot find a
solution.

Who has the key ?

I tried to install SP1 in save mode as administrator but at the end the
installation fails with an "helpfull" message : look at

Do you mean this Administrator account, because that's the only one on
Vista that has full admin rights at all times? Your user/admin account
you got out the box on Vista is not a user/admin account that has full
rights. Any new user/admin accounts that you will create will not be a
user/admin account with full rights either. There is only one admin
account that has full admin rights, Administrator.

You should try going into safe mode using Administrator and see what
happens.
