when trying to access windows update site I recieve this message but no
yellow strip appears under the address bar to allow active x controls to run
from this site ,this is the message I receive.
Install the ActiveX control required to view the website
The website will not display correctly on your computer without this
control.
1. Right-click the Internet Explorer Information Bar. It's located just
below the address bar.
2. In the right-click menu, click Install ActiveX Control.
3. In the Security Warning dialog box, click Install.

Note: If the Information Bar doesn't appear, or if you've installed the
control but still can't use the website, take these steps to solve the
problem.

Example: Internet Explorer Information Bar with right-click menu

This is the Microsoft Update Catalog newsgroup.

Suggest you post to the Windows Update newsgroup as it deals with client
side updating issues:
http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?dg=microsoft.public.windowsupdate&cat=en_US_56d1dd45-de9e-4fc5-9bc1-2d1d0de6daee&lang=en&cr=US

Also, you should include which edition of Windows, what Service Pack
level the OS is now on, and what security software is installed
[antivirus/security suite/and IF a 3rd party firewall is being used]

And evidently has completely ignored what the previous responders had to say
to the OP (last October). ; ]
