Larry,

It looks like the patch said in the article is already installed, and hence
the Alternate CLSID {41B23C28-488E-4E5C-ACE2-BB0BBABE99E8}

Try this:
Click Start/Run and type "regsvr32 hhctrl.ocx"
Re-open Help and Support and see if the problem persist. BTW, is the Index
column is also blank ?

are there any other way i can install q810847 and

Larry,

Your system already has a later version/patch installed.

Q813489 - MS03-015: April, 2003, Cumulative Patch for Internet Explorer
supersedes Q810847:
More Information http://support.microsoft.com/?id=813489

So, you don't need to install Q810847 again.

For the other question about Q813951, are you experiencing the symptoms
explained here http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=813951? If so try method 2
in that site.
