Hi Jan,

>Dang! When ya get a bone.... ya get a good one, doncha!
;o)))

Yeah, tell me about it! :)

>http://www.switcharoozoo.com/tshoot.htm

Nope. Nothing here worked.

>http://www.pcpitstop.com/testax.asp

I followed the instructions here but it didn't fix it. The
only possibility is that perhaps I have spyware installed
that prevents activex from running. I used ad-aware but it
didn't find anything.

>If not......try the following:
>http://www.auburn.edu/oit/support/employees/browsers/ht_ie6_browser_medium_security.php

Nope. That one just tells me to change my security settings.

Ditto.

Didn't work....sigh!

Nope. I checked my settings many times.

Those are mine as well. For all zones.

>Be sure your Java is "Enabled."

Nope. Didn't help.

Nothing here helped either. :(

I did find something interesting: A file was placed in my
IE cache that contains details of the problem. Here is the
one that is created when I go to WindowsUpdate:
