Windows Updates not working on IE

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.perform_maintain (More info?)

I can access Windows Updates but it tells me to enable scripting so it
doesn't work. I have configured IE so that the Internet Zone is at the Low
level, which pretty much enables everything and I still get the same problem
on Windows Updates. If I try to uninstall a program (such as McAfee) that
uses scripting in its uninstall tool, it fails. I can use Mozilla Firefox to
access sites that have scripting and it works fine.

What can I do to fix this problem? Do I need to reinstall IE?
