UGH! Trouble downloading, and opening anything

Please can someone help
I am running MS XP2, and have had NO trouble getting updates or any
downloads before, I downloaded the MS baseline security analyzer 2 nights
ago, and now I have major trouble downloading(it keeps telling me my ACTIVEX
control is not enabled, But I did enabled it and restarted my computer, I
have to download my item without the ACTIVEX. I extract it and open Excel,
and it tells me that it cannot read the file!!
Is there a way to get ACTIVEX's downloaded if the ones that already have
aren't working right?
And, How can I fix the downloading and opening problem?
Thank you
to all who respond.

Just an idea.........

Roll back your system using System Restore.

Good luck.
