When I contact windows update from my newly installed winXP Pro I am asked to
install an activeX control to make windows update work correctly. But there
is a problem with the certificate (apparently it has expired october 15. this
year), so it will not install. What can I do?

I wonder if anyone ever was able to help Lars. I started having the same
difficulty about the same time as he did, and I have never found anyone at
Microsoft who will give me any answer than "Do not worry; just use it." This
despite having the had folks at Microsoft spend three different afternoons
wtih remote assistance.

I nuked and burned my hard drive many, many times trying to resolve this; at
one point after this began, a warranty repair required a new motherboard and
hard drive at the same time. Yet still this persists.

Curiously, I have just found this same issue on the IE 7 update downloaded
from the web, but when I went to the library and downloaded it, the
installation method required no ActiveX, and it had a completely
different-looking installation sequence.

I hope someone can address this. In the meantime, I hope to find this issue
elsewhere on this board.

Thanks to all who answer here.
