New Microsoft Updat

I have windows update ver. 6, went to windows update, and clicked the link to
the new microsoft update site. When I get to that site, the yellow toolbar
appears at the top informing me of the activeX control download. When I right
click and tell it to install the activeX control, the page refreshes and I
get the toolbar all over again. I have added the sites to my trusted sites,
changed the settings in the security settings panel, but continue to get the
toolbar and can't download the activeX control needed for microsoft update. I
have found that I can not install any activeX controls, so it does not seem
to be a problem with that particular one.

Me too. I am quite up to date, but can not do any updates any longer.
But I can go a step further. Strange thing is - download comes up with 100%,
Registring with 100%, but after that I get an error - no continue. On my
first tries the whole system did even a restart, immediatly...

Is this pc running a "security" suite/firewall ? Which one? Recheck all settings.
Next, review your Internet Explorer browser settings. IE >>Tools>>Internet Options>>Security Tab. Press (select) Trusted Sites.
Next, press Custom level. Review all options. Be sure ActiveX and scripting are set to either Prompt or Enable.

If still no joy, be sure to state what AV/firewall/security application you have, plus your version of Windows.

Cookie,

Are you using/getting to V6 of Windows Update? If you select Windows Update & go into that site, without scanning for updates, you can select View Installation History. Then look for last session by date. Then click on it to see the actual Error exception number.

Look at your Windows Update log:
See if there is an "Error" for the date(s) when you had this problem.
It will have an entry (entries) with Error that would help to pin-down your pc's problem with Windows Update on-line functions.
C:\Windows\Windows Update.log (for Win98/Me)
C:\Windows\WindowsUpdate.log (for Win2000/XP / servers) (these systems may have Windows at folder WINNT )

You need to find the specific exception code number. And please specify in your reply here, what version of Windows this is.

Hi, Maurice. I have Panda Titanium 2005 installed. It does have a firewall
included. At first, I couldn't download the activeX control for Windows
update site, but it appears that through automatic updates, something was
installed that allowed me to use Windows update v. 6. Now, when I go to
Windows update site, and choose the link to go to Microsoft update site, I
now can't download that activeX control. I've also noticed that I can not
download any activeX, other than Microsoft. I've changed security settings
and everything else I can think of.

Suggestions: 1) Close all your open user programs. Close/exit Panda. Try connecting to Windows Update. any change?
2) Be sure you are using Internet Explorer when you go to Windows Update site. And check its settings & add sites to its Trusted Sites list.
In Internet Explorer browser > main menu /Tools/Internet Options >

Security Tab/ click on green icon Trusted Sites/click Sites button.

Look very closely at line that says:

"Require server verification (https for all sites in this zone" to *clear* (un-tick) the selection.

In the "Add this Web site to the zone:" field, add these entries to
list of "Trusted Sites" --

type
http://*.download.windowsupdate.com (click Add)

http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com

http://update.microsoft.com

https://update.microsoft.com (with HTTPS)


Click OK. Apply changes to IE browser.

Select Windows Update from main Start menus or from I.E. browser menu.

Any progress? If not, post back with all details.

Lastly, try going to this web address directly (click on it or type in address in I.E. browser)
<https://update.microsoft.com>

p.s. Review Panda settings/preferences to see if there is a section to put "safe" or "exception" sites to its "white" list.
Be sure Panda is not blocking all scripts.

Still won't work. My last resort is waiting to hear from Panda.

Hello, Have problem with update v6. "Website Encountered Problem" "cannot
display page". At the Windows Update Site a popup also shows asking "Do you
want to install ( Microsoft Windows Publisher)".
First time this happened lost the ability to use internet, could connect but
received "cannot find server" used three different browsers, trying several
sites and typing the URL.
Used GoBack and restored system, was able to use browser but still receive
the "Website Encounter Problem" at the Windows Update Site.
Any ideas concerning this problem?
Take Care.
