Came across this post in a googe seach about blank microsoft update pages. This solution doesn't work for me. Any other suggestions?

Set Security level in Internet Options to 'default'. Disable any and all ad-blocking software. Check Firewall and antivirus settings to ensure that Windows Update is not being blocked (disable these and try to see if they are the problem)

Panda Platinum, for example, by default blocks all VB and Java code from running.

I already tried all of that.

Anyone able to help?

Have you tried downloading the microsoft XML Parser 3.0?

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DisplayLang=en

That's the link. If that link doesnt work, just go to the downloads page of microsoft.com and type in xml parser. Let us know how it goes.

Whats this "XML Parser 3.0" for?

Anyways when Installing I had the following message pop up a number of times.

"Files that are required for windows to run properly have been replaced by unrecognized versions. To maintain system stability windows must restore the original versions of these files. Insert XP pro now"

It never specifies which files.(kind of annoying to be asked if I want to replace unnamed files) Some of these files may have been replaced by XP antispy as a way to disable XP pros more annoying automatic features. Anyways I lost my XP pro CD when I moved last fall.

In any event installing msxml3usa.msi did not fix the problem. I still can not load the windows update webpage.

Purely as a point of curiostiy, what browser are you using?

IE 6............

Hi True. Sorry to hear that all the solutions have led to a dead end. Have you tried running sfc to check the system files? Unfortunately you don't have your XP cd and sometimes it asks for it. Do you know anyone else who has an XP cd? Have you tried re-registering these DLLs?

regsvr32 wuapi.dll
regsvr32 wups.dll
regsvr32 wuaueng.dll
regsvr32 wucltui.dll
regsvr32 msxml3.dll

I would just create a batch file and stick those lines in like they are in this reply and run the batch file. After that, try reinstalling the VB Script. If that doesn't work, the only other 2 options I can think of is an OS repair or a complete reinstall (both of which will require you to have an XP CD).
