I have not been able to run the windows update so I
followed the instructions in 319585 as applied to XP
Professional. I was then unable to locate the refferenced
active X controls and if I try the update site, it tells
me my security settings dont allow active X to be run.

Anyone help here ?

For ActiveX errors, it suggests:

This message is displayed when your security setting in Internet Explorer is
set too high. For Windows Update to work properly, you must change the
security settings for the Internet zone to Medium or lower.

Open Internet Explorer
1. Click on Tools from the top menu bar
2. Click on Internet Options in the drop down menu
3. Click on the Security tab
4. Click on the Internet Zone icon
5. To adjust your security level, click Default Level or Custom Level.
6. Try setting the Custom level to Low and see if the ActiveX error
persists.

Another approach is to add the following domain names to the Trusted Sites

http://Download.Windowsupdate.com

To add these sites, follow these steps:

1. Open Internet Explorer
2. Click Tools / Internet Options
3. Click the Security Tab
4. Click on the Trusted Sites Icon
5. Click on the Sites button.
6. Add the domains listed above.
