Activex problems

I am running windowsXP home edition with I.E 6.0 and am having problems with activeX controls.

When I launch my IE and go to windows update; the following message appears.

"Your current security settings prohibit running ActiveX controls on this page. As a result, the page may not display correctly. "

I then click OK on the message and get a TRY AGAIN at the windows update server.

Is there a specific setting I need to change in IE to fix this?

Thx,

 

Most likely security setting is to high or set to disable activex. See:

Recently, I've had to install the WU ActiveX controls manually (From MS Help):

For Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows Server 2003:
download our controls from http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/cab/x86/unicode/iuctl.cab and save them to your desktop. Extract the .cab file following the steps below:

1. Go to the desktop and right click the iuctl.cab file.
2. Click "Open ".
3. Select all the files listed.
4. Right click on them and click "Extract. "
5. Point to a known location (like the desktop) and click "OK. "
6. Go to the location you selected and right click the iuctl.inf file.
5. Click "Install. "
