  I'm editing my question details & scored the title to indicate that the problem has been corrected.

  I am sharing my 'dose' for these sho could also have a similar problem with Windows Update.  I do not have a Browser Helper Object enabled, which was to be enabled - "MUWebControlClass".  Of course that was axtivex needed control.  Windows Update now performs normally for me & I was able to successfully download & install my updates - yay!

  ... the desktop running windows xp pro sp3 & IE8

  For what it's worth, I go to the Microsoft site & downloaded IE 8 & installed, as my first troubleshooting, before you come on this forum.  Theoretically, I should be as up-to-date as I can be with XP Pro SP3 & IE8, but I wanted to see that everything had been downloaded.  Well, I can't this info now.

  I wanted to see which updates had been installed & when I clicked on the link for Windows Update, said the "Welcome to microsoft update" page, below the message to install the activex control required to view the Web site... fthere is no popup message any that I can right click on to install an activex control.

  I googled similar questions on this forum & tried a similar question MrFixIt & who has not resolved the problem I encounter.

  IE8 is NOT my default browser, or generally leave automatic updates 'ON' unless I'm updating.

  I try to keep my current computer with the Windows updates on a monthly basis, I have to use IE8 for a couple of Web sites.  My current default browser is Dragon of Comodo.

  Your input & feedback & suggestions are appreciated!  Thank you all in advance.

  «Click Start ---> 'run'---> and in the dialog box, type "inetcpl.cpl" without the quotes and click on ' OK'.» Click on the "Security tab"--"custom level button" and scroll down to the box "Download signed activex controls" and select ""prompt(recommended"). Click ok and exit. This should activate the InfoBar at the top of the screen, when you visit windows update to download the activex.

  Good luck.

• Error when trying to access the microsoft update web site

  I am using windows XP Pro. SP3 32-bit (build 2600.xpsp_sp3_gdr.100216 - 1514)

  The address is different from one attempt to another, but both are still the same as eachother.

  When I close this tab IE grave message box down and I get the message 'recovered tab' normal.

  Can I search / install updates using vbscript widely available, or automatic update installation of windows. The problem only occurs when you try to access the web site itself.

  I tried to download and install the latest windows update manually, but this does not solve the problem.

  I am unaware of the date of the last update because I'm unable to access the update log.

  I use a current version of McAfee Anti-virus.
