Cannot access windows update catalog

I'm running Vista Ultimate and IE7. I have been trying to access the Windows Update Catalog on http://catalog.update.microsoft.com/v7/site/. It immediately takes me to http://catalog.update.microsoft.com/...e/Install.aspx and asks me to download an ActiveX control which I do. I then get an Internet Explorer Add-On Installer warning, to which I click on Install. However, thereafter nothing happens and the page remains static. I don't get any error messages, but the page does not navigate away from the Install page.

Any ideas regarding what the problem may be? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

thanks.

Re: Cannot access windows update catalog

Thanks for this. I have no problem accessing Windows Update.

Nevertheless, I tried your links, but it doesn't help. I still can't use the Catalog Update site as described in my earlier email.
