when i go to the update site, i receive the message 'Install the ActiveX
control to view the website' Also, for some reason, I have no information
bar, so cannot right click on it to follow the instructions. Any ideas how I
can a) install ActiveX and b) get the 'information bar'

Hi,

See if this helps:

Download the file OLEfix.zip available here (it is a registry file
that origin from MS Support, and it has fixed the ActiveX problem
for several people, getting this problem after installing KB896688):

http://patch-info.de/IE/Downloads/OLEfix.zip

Extract it and double click the contained OLEfix.reg file. Click Yes
on the dialog box that asks you if you are sure to add the information
in OLEfix.reg to the registry.

You may have to reboot your machine afterwards.

I have done what is suggested in the article but I am afraid it does not work
it is the same as the one you graciously provided.

Your situation might also have been caused by a known issue with KB902400.

The 'fix' for issues caused by KB902400 is documented in KB909444 --
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/909444
Systems that have changed the default Access Control List permissions on the
%windir%\registration directory may experience various problems after you
install the Microsoft Security Bulletin MS05-051 for COM+ and MS DTC
