Internet Explorer 8 Mess -- Add-ons Disabled

[GettingByOk]

I installed I Explorer 8 and now the Information Bar that sometimes warns
about Active X controls come on in every browser I open -- except is says:

"Internet Explorer 8 is currently running with add-ons disabled. Click here
to manage, disable or remove your add-ons."

Worse, Windows Update won't run at all. It stops on the home page claiming
it's looking for the newest software to view the site -- says to look at the
Information Bar for Active X controls -> but of course that's impossible
because the Active X controls message is being usurped by IE8.

How do I fix this mess? This is the only bad IE upgrade experience I've had,
the rest have been pretty good but this one is messed up.
