Let's verify the following settings:

1) Open Internet Explorer
2) Select Tools > Internet Options
3) Select Security Tab
4) Highlight "Internet" and Click "Custom Level"
5) Under "ActiveX controls and Plugins" Verify the following:

Download signed ActiveX controls = Prompt
Download unsigned ActiveX controls = Disabled
Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe = Disabled
Run ActiveX controls and Plugins = Enabled
Script ActiveX controls marked safe for scripting = Enabled

6) Under "Scripting" Verify the following:
Active Scripting = Enabled

7) Next, click on the Advanced tab. Scroll down the list and make sure there
are check marks in the boxes next to:
      a. Use HTTP 1.1
      b. Use SSL 2.0
      c. Use SSL 3.0

8) Close all open browsers, then connect to the Windows Update site and see
if it works.

Also please register the following files:

1. Click on Start, Run and type "REGSVR32 SOFTPUB.DLL" (w/o the quotes).
You should see a popup message that this process succeeded.
2. Click on Start, Run and type "REGSVR32 INITPKI.DLL" (w/o the quotes).
You should see a popup message that this process succeeded.
3. Click on Start, Run and type "REGSVR32 MSSIP32.DLL" (w/o the quotes).
You should see a popup message that this process succeeded.
4. Now try the Windows Update site
