Windows Update hangs up on the ActiveX screen and never moves

Win XP Pro SP2, ActiveX 9.0c

I'm sorry if this has been answered 100 times but the newsgroup website is
so slow that I gave up trying to get to page 2 to see if 100 other people
were having the same problem. Thanks in advance for any assistance offered.

First two articles address the issues, the last two explain the update. Best
of luck

I tried just about everuthing sugested by many "comrades" in distress.
Nothing worked.
By pure curiosity, I opened on IE Tools/Manage AddOns and Enabled
MUwebControlClass and...magic! Everything works now! Can you guys try and let
me know if it worked?
