Just so we are all on the same 'page' (pun intended) - when you say 'my
windows update page' - you do mean ...

Control Panel --> Windows Update

That page, right?

Are you referring to http://update.microsoft.com/windowsupdate or
http://update.microsoft.com/microsoftupdate or variations thereof?

If you are, Vista doesn't update via any of those webpages like your WinXP
computer did. See this tutorial:

Hello Smitmon,

I too had the same problem of "The Page Failed to Load".
If you have Stardock Colours in your system, just uninstall it.
It worked for me, hope you too.

Have nice time, YoungJoe.
