$$ Then how do I download the Active-X from HP's website???

It is in the Internet Explorer settings under
Options/Security. You'll have to play with it yourself to figure it
out.

$$ Following the HP websites information I set my security to MEDIUM
and the SP2 thing still wouldn't allow the download, even though it
said to CLICK the bar to allow it. I feel like I've given up the power
over my PC to MS. The bar shouldn't say CLICK HERE if it still don't
allow the download.


Press the Custom Level button. Check out the settings to do with
ActiveX.

## I already did that and still it wouldn't allow the download - it wont
allow updates from MS either. I had security set to LOW and all Active-X
set to enable or allow. It made no difference.

Make sure you write down any changes you do so you can set it back. I
would try the suggestion from Laythos first and add the HP site to the
Trusted Sites.

## I already did that! I can't think of anything else to do!!!! I am
unable to get updates from HP and MS itself!


Then it is something else causing the problem. I would suspect some
malware has changed something in the registry. Run some virus and spyware
scans.

=============================
I will. I have about 5 anti-scumware programs on my PC. I'll try running
them all tonight.
