Administrator privileges

Hello, I reinstalled XP Pro all went well. I did all the updates and
installed Norton 360. After a couple of days I log on and the security alert
shows up saying I have no anti virus or firewall installed. Norton saying
everything is OK.!! I then try to see if there are any more windows updates
and it won't alow me to download it comes up with the below
***************

I try the above and it is already enabled. I follow the directions of
Microsoft resolution 0x800A0046 but when I click on OK of "Impersonate a
client after authentication policy" "Service and Administrator " it says
"administators and SERVICE must be granted the impersonate cliant after
authentication privlege" when I restart it says comands not saved.
MSC Messenger also won't log in. Skype workes fine.
Everything else seems to be working fine apart for the security alert &
update problem. Can anyone help me get full control back????

Uninstall Norton 360. Restart.
Download, save, then run the Norton Removal tool. Restart.

See if the update error is still occurring. If it is, then follow the
steps in the KB article that failed previously due to the presence of N360:
Error message when you visit the Windows Update Web site or the
Microsoft Update Web site: "0x800A0046"
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/910338

Try this step *first* !

" Step 4: Verify the security descriptor in the Automatic Updates service
On Windows Server 2003-based and Windows XP-based clients "

Then, install an antivirus that is compatible with XP:
