WGA Validation fails on no activex

Running XP Pro/SP3.Windows Update has worked fine for a year or so.Now it
demands I validate my XP and says to click on the information bar to load
the activex.There is no information bar displayed.The WGA troubleshooter
says my copy of XP is genuine but gives little other info.

I have tried all the known fixes and read the forums,but no one is reporting
this symptom.I find the activex plug-ins but they are not loaded,they are in
the category of plug-ins Windows has used in the past.They are enabled.

Any help is certainly appreciated.

Please follow this simple troubleshooting procedure, courtesy of MS MVP
