pc specs: windows xp pro
512 megs ram
18.6 gig harddrive, 1 10 gig partition (windows), one 8.6
(mandrake 9.2)
120 gb external hd (usb), one 60 gig ntfs (windows), one 60 gig
journalised extension 3 (mandrake)
no clue on the motherboard
cdrw/dvd rom, floppy drive
IE 6.0.2800.1106

i tried to run windows update several times recently, and for some reason each time i try it crashes IE. it always worked before, and i'm thinking that it may be a problem with the activex control that is responsible for controlling access to the microsoft update server. my problem is that i don't know the name of the activex control, so i can't find it to see if it's corrupted, and as i don't know the name i can't replace it either. this may not even be the problem, this is just what i suspect. replies would be appreciated, and any other suggestions on what the problem might be also.
