Problem loading Windows Update Site page

I am having a problem getting the "Windows Update Site" page to load in
IE 6. It can take up to 3 minutes to open the page.....and the stop and
refresh buttons are not usable. Once the page does finally load, things are
fine.
This problem has only been occurring since the last update engine was
installed.
My computer is "lean and mean" : virus,spyware, bot free - with all
updates installed.

Any advise?

Hi Sally,

With my system I found that making the site HTTPS rather than the default
HTTP fixed the problem.

Cheers,
Arik
