I Assume you checked in the Tools>>Internet Options>>Security>>Custom Level under Active X's

You also could try turning Off all Add-Ons Tools>>Internet Options>>Programs>>Manage-Add-Ons and look under Add-Ons currently loaded

tried enabling all active and not enabling.
also looked at all my addons- vs this other computer- Mine has about 15. there are only 5 on the computer I"m tryin to fix.
I'll look at disabling all- i disabled most, but not all- thanks. anybody else?

ok- I disbaled all add-ons, it hung on, "checking your computer......" for the windows update site.
As soon as I enabled it. it reloaded and gave me that screen that tells me "The website has encountered a problem and cannot display the page you are trying to view. The options provided below might help you solve the problem...."

anybody else?

Belive it or not....

Have you tried deleting the Cookies, History, Temporary Internet files and all files in the Temp folders ( for all users ) ?

Sometimes IE will not overwrite them, and they cause problems...

Might also what to check this...

tried the 1st, and I'll do it again, Just in case....
I"ll read up on that one.
like you probably have read I"ve done alot of stuff that windows says. ALL these problems would probably be fixed if they went open source, lol.

ok as I look into this, under the "Clear the contents of the WindowsUpdate folder" heading- there is no v4 folder. as i read lower- must be why- it's win98 kernel I need xp kernal

also- it's error number 0x800B0001. I couldn't find much on it.
