why does office update tell me I need to install activex

[rayk60]

If I run check for updates I am asked if the activex not installed warning is
under the address bar. It is not but it will not let me go anyfurther. Office
2003 Pro

Your security settings may be too high...they may not prompt you at all for
activeX. You can add http://office.microsoft.com to your trusted sites and
this will help or you can lower your security settings.

Thanks,

I have had no problems until about a week ago with the settings as
they are now.
This activeX solution may make sense on a first visit.
