| 175329 | 2003-09-15 06:08:00 | Mark, on previous occasions when I have scanned for updates on my XP computer if there are no more updates I get a message saying 0 updates. On the 98 computer I am not getting that far to be told. If two did not install properly then I want to know what the two are. There were also heaps of other non-critical updates shown previously. Now I cannot even access the site. Can I offer you an asprin? I know I need one ;) Lyn |

| 175331 | 2003-09-15 06:27:00 | It will cost you! I think my need is greater than yours :) | Oxie (1318) | ||
| 175332 | 2003-09-15 08:16:00 | YES!!!!!!!!!!! | mark.p (383) | ||
| 175333 | 2003-09-15 08:21:00 | Mark, I understand what you are thinking, but I still should be able to access the site and see all the other updates (all the non-critical/secuirty updates) that I have not downloaded, instead of getting the Active X warning. Lyn |

| 175334 | 2003-09-15 08:43:00 | Oxie, for your ActiveX warnings check out these settings: IE > Tools > Internet Options > Security > Custom level - Download signed ActiveX controls = prompt - Run ActiveX controls and plug-ins = prompt - Script ActiveX controls marked safe for scripting = prompt Leave the rest of the setting alone. When visiting windowsupdate you will receive a prompt for ActiveX, just click Yes. Try again and see whether this make a difference. |

| 175335 | 2003-09-15 08:53:00 | Jen C Thanks for the advice. I changed Run Active X controls and plugins from Enable to Prompt, and Script Active X controls marked safe for scripting from Enable to Prompt. I got the prompt window you mentioned when trying to access Windows Update page, but after clicking yes I still got the message "Your current security settings prohibit running Active X etc" and then the message we administrator. :( Any other ideas?

| 175336 | 2003-09-15 09:03:00 | If you already had those settings on "enable" then it wouldn't make a difference (you can change them back to enable from prompt if you wish). Have a look here (v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com) for other suggestions. Jen |

| 175337 | 2003-09-15 09:14:00 | Thanks, Jen. I have now changed them back. Unfortunately when I click on your link I get a blank page (except for the Microsoft Windows Update logo at the top). Lyn |
