To do this, connect to the internet, open Internet Explorer, click Tools, then Windows Update. Install all critical updates.

My two children, who know more about the world of computers than I do, have been using my laptop which runs Windows ME. I recently purchased a firewall online but when I tried to down load the programme from the web site a warning message appeared informing me that I did not have the correct ActiveX control installed to enable me to download the programme. How do I solve this problem?
