windows update blank screen

I ran into a strange problem today and after a lot of digging I found a solution.

I was working on a computer that couldn't open the windows update web site. It would just get a blank screen. I also found that I was not able to login to hotmail and I couldn't insert pictures in Outlook Express. The user accounts utility in the control panel would also give me a blank screen.

I tried many different things to fix these problems. In the end I found that installing Windows script 5.6 fixed everything.

I hope I can save someone all of the trouble I went through to fix this problem. :)
