To Turn off the non-functioning Bar

[~ FreeSpirit ~]

This doesn't work. I can't get rid of the security bar or stop it from
blocking the Active-X download from the MS site.

To stop blocking file and software downloads with the Information Bar
This procedure will allow Web sites to automatically prompt you when
downloading files and software (bypassing the Information Bar).
Open Internet Explorer.
On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
On the Security tab, click Custom Level.
Do one or both of the following:

To turn off the Information Bar for file downloads, in the Downloads section
of the list, under Automatic prompting for file downloads, click Enable.
To turn off the Information Bar for ActiveX controls, in the ActiveX
controls and plug-ins section of the list, under Automatic prompting for
ActiveX controls, click Enable.

Is there ANOTHER way to turn it off? Would it help if I uninstalled and
reinstalled SP2? Can someone send me the Active-X the bar is blocking?

It won't help your problem but it's sure to be interesting.

======================
It's taken care of - thanks. This worked:

When searching for available updates on the Update site, you receive the
0x800B0001 error.

Press Start, select Run
Now type in: regsvr32 Softpub.dll, and then click OK two times
Do the same for the following :-
regsvr32 Mssip32.dll
regsvr32 Initpki.dll
regsvr32 wintrust.dll
regsvr32 wuapi.dll
regsvr32 wuaueng.dll
regsvr32 wucltui.dll
regsvr32 wups.dll
regsvr32 wuweb.dll
regsvr32 atl.dll

Reboot and try Windows Update again.

The bar didn't come up and I was able to get all updates.
