Windows Update was disabled by your system administrator

I was playing with a system configuration utility and decided that I didn't like it so I uninstalled. Several days passed before I noticed something wrong. Now my Update window buttons are missing from start / all programs/windows update and Internet explore/tools/windows update. When I do a windows update, I get a message error "windows update was disabled by your system administrator. If I set the automatic update, it works fine. I preferred to do windows update manually, so it don't interrupt me wile I do something. I've been in contact with the software support and they tell me to do the antivirus scans. I ran malwarebytes, found nothing. Kaspersky found some problems and clean. I've been in touch with tech Kaspersky forum and they give me a certificate of good health. No two seem to be much help to solve the problem.  I can't know this, but I think not what what Kaspersky found in my firefox cache caused this. Can you help me solve this problem?
Thank you

  • This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions on your computer. Please contact your system administrator.

    Title: original operation canceled
    When I start right click then properties, this happens "this operation has been cancelled due to restrictions on your computer. Please contact your system administrator. "Same thing happens when I click on the taskbar and Start Menu. Also, there are very few programs listed in the start menu. Can someone find it?

    If you see things like this:

    You do not have sufficient security privileges to restore your system.
    The System Restore tab is missing from the my computer properties.
    System Restore has been disabled by group policy.  To turn on system restore, contact your domain administrator.

    The operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer.  Please contact your system administrator.
    The "Run" option is missing from the start menu.
    The option "Log off."... ' is missing from the Start Menu.

    The usual advice are something in the sense of "something has been disabled in the group policy...". ", and it is probably true that something has been disabled, but you know what something is and what it takes to do about it.

    If you are using XP Home Edition, you will get away with advice to use the Group Policy Editor, since it has no Group Policy Editor in XP Home and only
    really does not tell you where to look in group policy, even if you run the Group Policy Editor.

    You need a complete solution that works for all versions of XP and requires no hunting around in the Group Policy Editor or registry to find where things are that have been disabled.

    Unless you have disabled these things on purpose, chances are good that your system has a malware infection.  The malware knows what tools you use to try to find and remove, for the malware disables the things you are more likely to consume and prevents them from running if you can't find the malware and remove it.

    If your system has this kind of affliction, all malicious software tools you currently use or have used failed to protect your system so that you can expand your horizons malware detection and prevention to prevent these kinds of afflictions in the first place.

    The malware will be happy you trick into thinking that you need to so something drastic to fix your system - as a facility repair, system restore point or a total reinstallation of XP.  This is what it would be like you, but these measures are not necessary.

    You must solve the immediate problem of the tools does not, then scan your system for malware when you are finished.

    No matter what kind of malware you've used analytical tools, they are unlikely to solve this problem, because they cannot tell if the changes made to your system have been on purpose (you or an administrator who makes them) or some malware changed them, so the analysis tools will let these things alone (it's usually a good thing).

    If your system is afflicted in this way, there are probably other things that also do not work - like the registry editor, System Restore and the command prompt, so fix them all at once even if you have not discovered they are broken again.

    These commands from registry removes the registry entries that are stop opening programs.  Although the registry entries do not exist, these commands are safe to run and will work for all versions of XP.

    Before making any changes to your registry, back up the registry with this free and popular tool:

    Alternatively, you can right-click on the enableit.reg file, choose open with... and select the registry editor.
