Strange story, sounds like your IT people are not as good as mine... :-)
I'm working on a Win2000 computer as well, and I can run the StatTransfer 
updates without any problems. As far as I know, there might be at least two 
workarounds that your IT people could consider. Firstly, give you "Power 
User" rights instead of normal user rights. Secondly, allow 
StatTransfer.exe only (or whatever is the name of the program executable) 
to run with administrative rights.
Hope that helps!
