Default DLL and Updates

I had to reinstall ME, now I am having problems. It will
not let me do updates (tells me administrators only). I
tried the solution MS suggested but these are the only
files I could find in the registry: Default- value not set
and Update URL - wupdmgr.exe. I do not know if I should
mess with these. Also I get D3D8.DLL and Dinput8.DLL files
missing, how do I get these?
Thanks in advance for any help I can get.

This sounds as if you reinstalled ME over the top of itself using the CD?
and you had IE6 installed prior to this?
If so, then you have more problems than you thought!!

You will need to uninstall and reinstall Internet Explorer - then force
reinstall of ALL your previously installed patches from Windows Update.

Look here for instructions on un/reinstalling IE
