Windows or microsoft updates

Can anyone tell me how to get the active x control to work so I can download
the updates..... it will not allow me to use the active x control from the
microsoft updates and download page.

Hello pl,

A control using ActiveX technologies. An ActiveX control can be
automatically downloaded and executed by a Web browser. ActiveX is not a
programming language, but rather a set of rules for how applications should
share information. Programmers can develop ActiveX controls in a variety of
languages, including C, C++, Visual Basic, and Java.
An ActiveX control is similar to a Java applet. Unlike Java applets,
however, ActiveX controls have full access to the Windows operating system.
This gives them much more power than Java applets, but with this power comes
a certain risk that the applet may damage software or data on your machine.
To control this risk, Microsoft developed a registration system so that
browsers can identify and authenticate an ActiveX control before downloading
it. Another difference between Java applets and ActiveX controls is that Java
applets can be written to run on all platforms, whereas ActiveX controls are
currently limited to Windows environments.

Related to ActiveX is a scripting language called VBScript that enables Web
authors to embed interactive elements in HTML documents.

I am assuming you'�e using Windows XP as you failed to state what OS and SP
level you're using.

See if this thread helps. Maybe Dial-a-Fix.

AND OR

See if running this tool resolves the error in Vista:

AU Check (v78a)
<http://www.codeplex.com/aureset/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=17263>

Download and *save* it. After the download completes close all open
programs and browse�s.

*** Temporarily disable the installed antivirus/security
suite/anti-malware/3rd party softwares. This includes all services and
processes associated with them. Either consult the User Guide or the
manufacturer's web site to learn how this is accºmplished.
You can use the following steps to Clean Boot Vista if the above task is
too complicated: How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean
boot in Windows Vista
<http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135>

*Enable* the native Vista firewall as the system must be connected to
the net when the tool runs so that it can downloaded needed updating
software components. ***

Now run au_check_v78a_codeplex.exe by *right* clicking it and choosing
'Run as administrator'. Allow it time to complete it's operatiºn.
Restart the computer afterwa�ds.

See if the system can update nºw.

I hope this post is helpful.

Let us know how it works ºut.
