HI
I just downloaded and installed IE7. After it completed, I tried to check for more updates but when I went to the Windows Update page, the info bar said " IE is running with Add-ons disabled" and it gave me some instructions on how to enable them. When I go to IE-Tools-...Manage Add-ons (which is what it said to do)...it is greyed out so I can't do anything with it.

Was wondering how I could get into the Add-ons so I could enable which ever one I need to be able to get the Windows Updates.

Thanks!
Homer
