I can't activate Microsoft Update in Windows 7.
My Windows Update (from Control Panel) screen says "you receive updates: for Windows only." If I click on 'Get updates for other Microsoft products. «More» I am sent to http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/en/default.asp with a message that it is only available for administrators only (I am logged on as administrator). Otherwise, if I click on "Edit settings" on Windows Update screen, I can Change settings screen but the list of options and checkboxes is shorter than on my other PC Windows 7 and in particular there is no option to include updates to other Microsoft software.
Assistance with these options available would be very appreciated.
Running Win7 Home Premium 64-bit with Office 2007.
Thank you very much
Paul
Okay, I don't know how or why, but install Microsoft Silverlight solved the problem. A window appeared at the end of the installation with a check box saying something like "updated Microsoft Silverlight and other Microsoft products". I checked the box, open Windows Update in Control Panel and it now says "you receive updates: for other products from Microsoft Update and Windows.
Yay!
See you soon,.
Paul

Hello
Is it possible to set up a Vista account which can only download "microsoft updates" (that is, no other non-microsoft files can be downloaded or installed)?
I know that you can create a 'guest account ' with essentially the rights of internet browsing. I would, however, allow for some more flexibility, such as if there are microsoft updates or antivirus updates, this account is permitted to accept these files. I fear that non-microsoft files such as google or yahoo toolbars settle.
Thanks to anyone who can help us with that.
There is no installation in Windows to allow this, and I can't say I've ever heard an Add on for Windows that would allow this.
