Every time I try and run Windows Update I get a message saying that my Internet Explorer settings are set to high - however even after setting it to the lowest possible setting, I still am unable to run Active X controls or Windows Update. I tried creating another user to test if it were a case only with my account but run into the same problem.

Is there an Administrative setting that prevents Active X controls from running? What can I do to be able to run Windows Update?

Are you running XP as Admin ?

Have you tried setting your IE back to default settings ?

I am logged in as Admin and I've tried to set my IE settings to default without any effect.
