Hello folks,

This one has me stumped.

I performed a major cleaning on this PC. Had spyware/viruses.

I had to do a repair install of Windows in order to get 'most' things running right again. I have applied all updates, including SP2.

Here is my problem. This machine has Office XP Pro on it. When I go to Office Update, first I get this box:


The current web page is trying to open a site in your trusted sites list. Do you want to allow this?

Current site: g.msn.com
trusted site: office.microsoft.com

I have never seen this box before. Of course I click yes. It comes up 2x. When I click on "check for updates", it goes to the next screen. Sometimes it asks me to load the activex control, which I do. It then goes to the "install the office update installation engine" screen. But nothing else happens. It just dies right there. I am never presented with the list of updates available.

I have tried everything on MS's web site concerning this. Nothing has worked thus far. I have performed a Office repair also.

Any suggestions? I have been having a LOT of activex problems lately with different programs/web pages.

I can provide more info if needed.
