RE: Microsoft Windows Update [Error number: 0x800A1391]



I did the simplest and safest thing - IN NIS, navigate to custom settings in
the personal firewall section of the NIS box and change the active x control
to medium - it promprts you for active x downloads and the update site works
again - without disabling all your other NIS internet protection.
