It's taken a while but I have visited each site you recommended and done
everything on each site. I still get the screen:

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.



Example: Internet Explorer Information Bar with right-click menu

END OF SCREEN...

I cannot download and install updates to Windows XP (SP2) or to Office XP Pro.
What else can I try?
