receive a message that Windows Update can not display page with the error

Element not found.

How long has this error been occurring, Robert ?
That error would usually be associated with a corrupted download.
I suspect this instance would be related to the need to install the
latest release of the Windows Update Agent or, when a new
antivirus/security suite/3rd party firewall was installed:

How to obtain the latest version of the Windows Update Agent to help
manage updates on a computer

The download links are under: Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008,
Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, and Windows 2000 Service Pack 4

Grab the one that suits the system's architecture.
Then stop the Automatic Updates service and, if a running service, BITS,
too.
Then install the WUA and restart the system.
See if it can update now.
If not, post the *last* 50 or so lines of the WindowsUpdate.log, please:
