I actually use both. F.X. for most everything and then I.E. for whatever else is needed, but the problem is when i try to do an windows update on I.E. it searches for the activex control, but can't find it. I followed the steps given after the error, but still no luck, so I figured I need to reload the activex controls...I just don't know which one(s) I need to find and load.
i use both 2.(mainly F.X and ie to update) after reading ur post i check ie to c if i could update and it worked fine. try to google "activeX plug ins" for I.E. that should help.
