When double glazed units are made, they are sealed with dry air (no moisture inside).
Sometimes these units fail and let normal air, containing moisture, inside the unit, causing condensation to form on the inner walls of glass.
As far as I'm aware it's impossible to repair (or at the very least, not cost effective to repair) the unit - the only real solution is to replace the unit.

Thanks for your answers. What I might do is wait till next year when we have a chance to have bedroom windows replaced free and others on discounted price as we live under the flight path of Heathrow Air port. So looking at recession and credit crunch we would wait.
Then there is no Sun out now a days any way. It all looks misty through all of the windows. So why bother about one for the time being.
