It appears that my computer has downloaded the Windows Update to V5. When I
click on Windows Update it takes me to v5.windowsupdate.microsoft.com;
however, I have not been asked if I want to install the ActiveX component.
I get a blank page in the part of the browser that asks if you want to scan
for updates. I also get a message that "The page cannot be displayed." I've
tried to find a solution to this problem, but have been unsucessful.
Version 4 was working the last time I tried which wasn't too long ago. Any
help with this problem will be appreciated. Thank you. -- Lee
