the page failed to load error

Using Vista Home Premium 32 bit with SP2 all updated. Running avast anti
virus, comodo firefirewall, Spybot, ad-Aware, Super anti spyware all up to
date.
Everytime I open the control panel and click on Windows Update I get a blank
page with the message: the page failed to load. I installed an update
yesterday 10/7 so I know it was working then. The only software I installed
was a scrapbooking program, but I unintsalled it already. I have done a virus
and spyware scan and eyerything comes back clean. This problem only started
today. Would appreciate a
any help concerning this.

Thanks,
hammymom

 

Out of curiosity, Which version of IE?

I am using IE 7.0.6002.18005. Have tried IE 8, but it is too slow. I think I
need some sort of update for the update page to work properly. This has
happened before but I do not remember what the solution was.

A dumb question, if you don't mind.
After you had un-install IE8, had you checked if IE7 had all its defaults ?

I reinstalled Vista a couple of months ago. When I reintsalled it, I did not
install IE 8, I stayed with IE 7 and did not upgrade to IE 8. So, IE 7 still
has all the defaults set and everything. Didn't change any settings on it.

Why did you reinstall Vista a couple of months ago and how did you do it?

Have you had this problem ever since you reinstalled Vista? Were you having
similar problems before you reinstalled Vista?

I reinstalled Vista because it was getting a little bogged down and a
little sluggish. I reinstalled Vista from the system operating disc that
came with my computer-Gateway.
This problem only started 10/7. Before 10/7, I had no problems
downloading and installing updates. Even after I reinstalled Vista,
updates worked just fine-no problems.
Before I reinstalled Vista, the only problem I had was with Windows
Update Catalog and that issue was solved.
Do you think installing IE 8 would help? If you think it might help,
I'll do it. If this problem does not get fixed, I won't be able to keep
Vista updated.

No, I would not recommend upgrading to IE8 right now nor do I think IE had
anything to do with the problem.

Did you do a Repair Install (AKA In-place Upgrade) of Vista or did you do a
clean install? (If you didn't back-up your personal data before
reinstalling and it was there after you did the reinstall, you did a Repair
Install.)

Backup your personal data, then do a format & clean install of Windows.
Please note that a Repair Install (AKA in-place upgrade) will NOT fix this!

After the clean install, you'll have the equivalent of a "new computer" so
take care of everything on the following page before otherwise connecting
the machine to the internet or a network and before using a USB key that
isn't brand-new or hasn't been freshly formatted:

Thank you for the help. Hopefully I won't have to do a clean install
just yet. I did a system restore and went back to this Monday when
everything was stable and so far the Windows update page is working
properly. Hopefully this clears up the problem. If I have any more
problems with the update page, I'll do a clean install. I'll keep my
fingers crossed and hope that it doesn't come to that.

Thanks again,
hammymom

I did the restore and it didnt work..but i did find a solution..if youre
running "window blind" you need to update it. After i updated it, all
was fine..you can update it from "impulse", that is if your running
windows blind

Good day...
IF YOU ARE RUNNING WINDOWBLINDS ON YOUR COMPUTER UPDATE IT THROUGH "IMPULSE"
and it will probably FIX "The page failed to load" on Windows Update. This
worked for me. I had tried the microsoft fix with the GlobalInstallOrder.xml
replacement and that didnt work.
Thanks ibemaximus!!
