Sounds like you might have a nasty virus. Do you have anti-virus protection? You also need to go to start, all programs, and at the top you should see where it says Windows Update. Go there and get the latest CRITICAL Updates! Once you have those go back and do a virus scan. Also it's helpful to have a spybot destroyer. I recommend Spybot Search & Destroy and spyblaster. Go to the link below and pick your language. Then you can download the spyware elimiator. Hope this helps

Turn on automatic aupdates. Go to control panel, security center, automatic updates. Make sure they are on. Windows will check to see if there is any. Make sure your firewall dosn't block it tho. You can also go to the ms site www.microsoft.com and do it there

Try uninstalling it and reinstalling with the proper driver, and check on the web for any updates, also check windows update and see if anything comes up for a driver.

Oh, for gosh sakes, don't update to IE7 with that machine.  it would stink. \n\nVisit http://www.microsoft.com and go to the Download section.  Then pick the Internet section and get IE6 with SP1.  This will work the best.  \n\nIf you use the Windows Update feature, uncheck the box for IE7, otherwise, you will be uninstalling it again. \n\nGood luck and Happy Computing!

You should look for a Windows 98 SE (second edition) dics on eBay or elsewhere on line.\nInstall it and then do a Windows Update on-line.

Make sure you have the latest service pack for windows, go here to check:\n\nhttp://update.microsoft.com\n\nAlso; are you using enough memory?  If you click control + alt + delete,  check out your total memory and what you have available.  If you're running short, it may be time to upgrade.

You have probably enabled the microsoft auto update feature.\n\nPersonally I don't like it running automatically I like to be told they are available vs the system just doing it anytime it  feels like it.  I do update alot but like to do it proactively vs automatically.\n\nFrom the link I sent below you'll see a "pick a time to install updates link... That sends you to the Automatic Updates panel... click more options... select Notify me but don't automatially download and install them \n\nNote: Windows will automatically turn off your computer after the updates are installed (if the update requires it)

If you're using the update tool in Windows, and that's still not working, go to www.microsoft.com and find their updating tool. If THAT doesn't work, give Microsoft's tech support a call.

almost sounds like you are logged in as a "limited user"...be sure to be logged in under an administrator account and try again.... and also try going to the Microsoft Update site...the first thinmg they do is install the active X so they can continue to provide the updates your machine needs....

Are you downloading from the 'Windows Update' link, in the Start Menu. I did without any problems.

Disconnect NetNanny! \nOR, type in the web name into search engine and see if that link will take you to the site. I have been having probs with MS Explorer since an "update" myself...found the only way I could get to webs that I often go to were thru a link??? Nice update, eh???
