Windows Update No Longer Works after doing a system restore

I had to run a system restore due to a virus on my computer. Since the
restore I have been unable to get Windows Update to work because it keeps
telling me to install Activex controls. However, the bar never shows up on
the windows update page for me to install activex.

Help someone

Thanks

The Windows Update Web site and the Microsoft Update Web site do not scan for updates
when you repair a failed installation of Windows XP Service Pack 2 or of Windows XP
Service Pack 1

*ActiveX* is not DirectX.
