enable auto update

 when trying to connect to the windows update page with IE6(version
 6.0.2800.1106), I keep getting the following error message in a pop up window:

 line:72
 char:3
 error:automation server can't create object
 code:0
 url:http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com

 I've already had the suggestion of updating the urlmon.dll, didn't work,
 and resetting my internet security settings, didn't work.

 any ideas on how to correct this so I can access the update page? any help
 will be greatly appreciated!
