There is a way to download each of the updates as a self-contained EXE file by using the Windows Update Catalog.
Microsoft Windows Update
1) In Windows Update, select the link in the left-side navigation frame to "Personalize Windows Update". Check the option to "Display the link to the Windows Update Catalog under See Also".
2) Back in the navigation frame, select the "Windows Update Catalog" link, which should now appear. Select "Find updates for Microsoft Windows operating systems", select your OS, and click "Search".
3) Find and add whatever updates you are interested in.
4) When all the updates have been added, click "Go to Download Basket". Then you can select a directory to download the files to, hit "Download Now".
I would like for the computer to search for new updates and perform it. It does not. It gives me an error that reads "Your current security settings prohibits running ActiveX controls on this page. As a result the page may not display correctly". Then it gives me some suggestions for correction (which I have done without success). I have lowered my internet security settings to Medium-Low, still the same message shows up. I am logged in as the adm. Any other suggestions???
Thanks but that did not help. Somebody suggested to me to do the following:
Suggestion 1 ============ Register the following files with these steps:
1. Click on Start, Run and type "REGSVR32 SOFTPUB.DLL" (w/o the quotes). You should see a popup message that this process succeeded. 2. Click on Start, Run and type "REGSVR32 INITPKI.DLL" (w/o the quotes). You should see a popup message that this process succeeded. 3. Click on Start, Run and type "REGSVR32 MSSIP32.DLL" (w/o the quotes). You should see a popup message that this process succeeded. 4. Now try the Windows Update site and see if you get the same error.
IT DOES WORK! Finally! I have tried everything! Thank you!

The error message you receive is most helpful. See if the adjustments listed here will allow you to access Windows Update without problems.
