reset proxy problem

under windows vista ulitmate i configured a proxy manually via the netsh
winhttp set proxy command and all was working fine through my proxy. However
now that I have removed the proxy server I'm unable to go back to direct
settings via the netsh winhttp reset proxy command. Everytime I execute the
command I get an access denied(5) error.
Any usefull hints to solve this problem? as this is now preventing me from
obtaining any furhter windows updates.

Error 5 is permission issue. Try to open the cmd run as administrator.

Robert, I"m running the command as the administrator on this machine.

If your turn off User Account Control in User Accounts in Control Panel, it
will work.
