Update web sites don't scan for updates

If you have done a repair operation on XP SP1 or SP2 using the original XP installation CD, you might find that when you visit the Windows/Microsoft Update web sites, they no longer scan for updates. You might also see an error message in the WindowsUpdate.log file that says Windows Update ActiveX is not the right version. This happens because the repair replaced version 6 of the ActiveX control, which was installed by the service pack, with an old version. You need to download and reinstall Windows Update ActiveX control version 6. To find out how, see KB article 916259 at :-
