I am attempting to download & install Microsoft Update.
When I attempt this I am told I need ActiveX Control.
The instructions for installing ActiveX Control reads as follows:
1. Right-click the Internet Information Bar. It's located just below the
address bar.
2. In the right-click menu, click Install ActiveX Control.

When I right-click the Internet Information Bar, there is no "Install
ActiveX Control" in the menu.
How do I work around this problem?

Visit: http://www.microsoft.com/genuine/diag/ and click on
"Start Diagnostics".

Hi Carey, after I run the diag tool, it gets stuck on "Checking Windows
validation ActiveX load" while all else passes. Now what?

Passed Active scripting allowed
Passed Display images enabled
Passed Computer time and date correct
Passed Cookies enabled
Passed ActiveX enabled
Passed Office validation ActiveX loaded
Passed Validation Self-help ActiveX loaded
