    Windows Update window (explorer.exe) does not respond

    In my Windows Vista Business Edition SP1 installation, when I try to open
    the
    Windows Update window, the window freezes and does not respond.
    I cannot understand what is going wrong. I have already downloaded and
    installed the latest version of the Windows Update agent from here (x86):
    http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=91237
    but in vain.
    Please help.

    You can try re-registering some windows update componentes.

    Go to: START --> RUN --> regsvr32 dispex.dll <hit enter>

    If WU continues to freeze though, try the same above procedure by
    re-registering components below:
    regsvr32 msscript.ocx
    regsvr32 vbscript.dll
    regsvr32 scrrun.dll

    You can try re-registering windows update componentes.

    For a start go to:
    START --> RUN --> regsvr32 dispex.dll <hit enter>

    If WU continues to freeze, try the same above procedure to re-register other
    WU components below:
    regsvr32 msscript.ocx
    regsvr32 vbscript.dll
    regsvr32 scrrun.dll
