While running Windows Update (or rather Microsoft Update), IE7 goes to the

site, then shows me a window saying I need to download an ActiveX control

update of some kind, I guess to update the updater.

 

Only problerm is, the Information Bar where you're supposed to click to

accept it never shows, but the screen plainly says "Click the Info Bar to

proceed..." - or whatever it says.

Funny part is, if I switch to the other User on the same machine (Log off

and back on), it works fine.

 

What's up with that? I tried resetting all of the security controls to

their lowest settings, even going through and changing settings allowing ALL

ActiveX content, no matter what, and still no luck.

 

Turned off AV & Firewall, blah. blah, blah... nothing

 

Why would it be OK for one user and not the other?

Because one account has admin rights and the other doesn't?

nope, full admin acess for both, in fact it's MY account that's messed up,

and that's the account that created the other...
