Schnitzelnagler	When did this error message appear (before, or after the download had started, which you can see on a little 'red bar' in the lower right corner of your pager)? Did you try this on an account with administrative privileges? Have previous attempts to update worked fine?

Schnitzelnagler	When you say that none has worked, I take it that you have tried with previous updates, right? Did you get the same error message? As for your question, Windows accounts have a set of privileges. You can set up (during the creation of the account, it is most simple), if it is supposed to obtain administrative rights. You might want to ask your parents/the one who owns the computer for details.
