Hi all,
Running Vista Ultimate sp1-Have an icon that says updates available. If I
click on it the windows update page shows and says no updates available. How
can I find out what the update is supposed to be? Thanks

What happens when you click on the "updates available" icon?

That's the old *access denied* error message. Assuming you are trying the
updates as the Administrator and that you anti virus software isn't
interferring -

Suggestion from MS -

Install/reinstall Windows Update Client

x86-based versions of Windows - download the WindowsUpdateAgent30-x86.exe
package now.
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=91237

x64-based versions of Windows - download the WindowsUpdateAgent30-x64.exe
package now.
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=91238

Please see if installing the 3.0 client resolves the problem.

If you require more information:

A new version of the Windows Update Agent is available

Another thing you can try is resetting the security settings back to the
defaults:

Drastic but affective.
Glad the problem has been rectified.
