Windows Update page is blank in Vista

On my Vista machine, when I go to the Windows Update Control Panel option I
get a blank screen, devoid of anything else other than the outline of the
button and whatnot. I can still install updates and keep everything secure
but this is annoying as I can't see anything. Take a look...

I'm sure after TWO YEARS he found a solution! You Techarena children really
need to take a course on basic reading.

The problem with him (and me) seems to be that control panel is working fine,
it's just the windows update window.
It opens and on the left it says theres 1 important update and 4 optional
ones, but in the main screen there is nothing to select or see.

Yours,
Daan
