Ok, it's been a while since I've used Windows 2000, and I got stuck trying to permit an activeX control to be installed for Internet Explorer. I was trying to go to Windows Update and install Microsoft Update. It requires and activeX control to be installed. Typically in Windows XP, a message under the Address bar asks for permission to install the control, but there is no such message in Windows 2000 IE. I don't know what to do know to install it. I put security on Low and enabled all ActiveX permissions to install controls. There's no firewall. No Luck. Any idea what to do in Windows 2000? Thanks in advance, ... Jim..
