I have Windows 98SE running on a dial-up computer at a weekend house,
and McAfee for antivirus. The IE is version 6.

McAfee won't do it's updates because it is looking for certain security
elements to be in place involving ActiveX. I have followed their
specific steps to enable ActiveX control (Tools, Security Tab, Set to
Medium and RESET, Download Signed ActiveX = Enabled; and there's another
set to PROMPT per their instructions). However, it still does not
work.

The techs at McAfee are at a loss as to what to have me change or
fix. Is there something in the registry I can delete or manually
"tweak" to get the two tools to recognize each other?
