| | Change settings need to be system administrator I’m trying to change the settings on automatic updates to download and install, the settings screen will not allow me to change the existing settings. Says it must be done by a system administrator. The machine is not on a domain I have administrator rights, but I’m not logged on as the administrator. How can I change this and or how do I log on as the administrator. Thanks |
