Windows Update Problem

[allindrome]

I reglarly check and download Windows XP updates using the Windows Update option.I had last updated my OS in the last week of 2004 or one week before when Microsoft had released 4 security updates.Since then whenever I visit the Windows update site I only receive the Windows Update homepage but the scanning of the system for updates never starts.Prior to this I had downloaded all the high priority and custom downloads.I would like to know whether anyone else is facing the same problem.

Is there no one who updates Windows?Well if there is then atleast tell me that Windows update is working.I am never adverse to formatting my system.
