Amelia,
Microsoft have been distributing new ActiveX controls in their automatically
installed security patches.
To try and solve your problem, go to Control Panel Internet Options. In the
Security Tab set all the security zones to the default. Go to the Trusted
Zone, add the site
http://update.microsoft.com.
Close Internet Options and open Internet Explorer
browse to
update.Microsoft.com/windowsupdate/v6/default.aspx?ln=en-us
You may be asked to install a new ActiveX component in which case follow the
prompts and do so
You should get your updates OK. If you after that you still get the total
ActiveX rejection please post here again.
BTW Windows Update is very slow today.
