Re: No active X control on information bar when updating

Go here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/949104

Scroll down to More Information, How to obtain the latest Windows Update Agent.
Download the correct Windows Update Agent [WUA] for your system and *save* it.
Cleanboot Windows XP
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310353

Once you've cleanbooted, run the WUA just downloaded.
Restart the system afterwards.
Undo the Cleanboot state by retracing your steps in KB310353,
restart once more.

Did that get the ActiveX component installed properly ?
If yes, then installed security software [antivirus/security suite/and/or 3rd party firewall/anti-mal/spyware/popup/cookie blocker]
was preventing the ActiveX from being installed.

I keep getting error messages that send me to the windows update page when I get to that page I get:


Install the ActiveX control required to view the website
The website will not display correctly on your computer without this control. To install it:
1. Right-click the Internet Explorer Information Bar. It's located just below the address bar.
2. In the right-click menu, click Install ActiveX Control.
3. In the Security Warning dialog box, click Install.

Note: If the Information Bar doesn't appear, or if you've installed the control but still can't use the website, take these steps to solve the problem.


As in the Note--the information bar does not appear so I can not get to the update page. I have searched around but can not seem to find a resolution to my problem. I have had the bar pop up on other websites but for some reason it doesnt on microsoft update. Any Suggestions??
I have Windows XP operating system...Im not sure what other info you might need.
