unable to stay on the windows update page

I have just rebotted my computer, and wanted to update my windows so it will
be as protected as possible, and bugs free. i pressed windows update on my
start menu and waited for it to reach the familiar update page, only a few
seconds after it reached the page for some reason it resireded itself to the
general windows update page.

does any one else came across this problem?

BTW i have WIN ME, and never had this problem before when i rebotted and
want to do an update

I'm not quite sure I follow you here.
There is only one Windows Update page for Win ME - v4
There is an update which needs to be installed before it will work properly
on a clean install of ME - which is where you may be getting stalled. Do you
have a Firewall installed? - if so, then disable it when visiting Windows
Updates, and see if that helps.

OTOH, if you're truly getting 'dragged away' from Windows Updates, the
following may apply....
You may have a virus/spyware hijack

download the Stinger from here and run it to make sure that A-V-disabling
viruses are not present on your PC

- update your virus scanner and run a full system scan of all files.

Reboot to Safe Mode and run CWShredder - to remove variants of the
CoolWebSearch hijacker.
