ActiveX and Windows Update

[johnviz]

I've been having a problem running Windows Update now for a week. Well I finally realized what happend. I ran Norton Win Doctor last week and it repaired some ActiveX Registry entries. Well since then my windows update has been dead. I get this message when I run it:

The Windows Update software did not update successfully. Below are some suggestions to help you proceed:
You may have clicked No when prompted to accept the Trust Certificate. To allow the Windows Update site software to install, click Yes when presented with the Security Warning dialog box.
Your Internet Explorer security settings may be set too high. To install the updated software and access Windows Update, Internet Explorer security must be set to medium or lower, and active scripting and the download and initialization of ActiveX controls must be enabled.

Note These are the default settings for Internet Explorer. For more information about Internet Explorer security and instructions on how to change your security settings, read Microsoft Knowledge Base (KB) Article Q174360.

Now if anyone can help me outta of this mess I would be very grateful. Thanks in advance.

Did you ever get any help about Windows Update not working?

I have the exact same problem (Win2k Pro).

If you have any helpful info, I'd be glad to see it!

Thanx....

The problem is in Internet Explorer, you'll have to reinstall it to fix the problem
