[WIN7] some settings are managed by your system administratorFirst, when attempting to change Windows Update settings I find the following at the top of the page: some settings are managed by your system administratorWU is working just fine as I have downloaded and installed several updates. Additionally, IE is not displaying images on any web site and at least one application, Skype, is not displaying images. Here is what I have tried so far: Repair Windows Updates, File and registry permissions, IE, and file associations. Also, I re-registered System Files. Of course, I thoroughly scanned the computer for all variants of malware. This is a friends Dell Notebook which is not used on a domain or connected to any corporate site. Any suggestions? Thanks Joe P |

Cudni Never. Since the original post I tried Firefox and running in Safe Mode but nothing changed. Thanks Joe P On another note, the PC is Win 7 Home Premium so there is no Policy Editor. |

**Update**
This morning I decided to proceed forward with Cudini's recommendation and here is what I encountered:
First, I created a Restore Point then checked the contents of the Group Policy and GroupPolicyUsers folders and found them to be empty. Next, I started with the VBS file which would not execute by double clicking or right click and open. So, I used the batch file utility and rebooted but it failed to correct the problem. I checked for the presence of the aforementioned folders and they were no longer present.
Thanks

No additional clues, nothing in event viewer. Yes, I repaired IE (several times), Windows Updates, File Associations, File and Registry Permissions and re-registered System Files. I also ran one or two more of the repair options in Tweaking.com Windows Repair. Thanks again, Joe P |

***RESOLVED***
A "friend of a friend" who works IT for a major Corporation offered to sign in to the computer and take a look. He resolved the windows Update issue by deleting a key in the registry:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU] "NoAutoUpdate"=dword:00000001 "AUOptions"=dword:00000001
He then resolved the issue of the Web pages and applications only displaying text by changing the Theme from High Contrast to Windows 7 Basic.
Thanks Cudini for you help.
