I recently tried to manually do a Windows Update on a WinXP (home) box and when the Microsoft update site tried to scan my computer to see what I needed I got an error message and a notice about emailing the error to Microsoft.

It looks like my IE 6 is dinked. Is there an easy way to "refresh" this embedded monster?

The option worked, maybe a month ago. So I'm reluctant to try a system restore.

Suprisingly, the automatic update system seems to work. I know I probably should have included the error message with this post, I'll write it down next time I fire that box up.

Thanks
