Cannot access the microsoft Web site using any browser

Access Web sites

Try all 3 browsers... Chrome IE7 and Mozilla. I can't to any microsoft Web site. No problem to do anything else.

With Chrome... I get OOPS! and an error message. IE7 displays a page similar to AI "browser down" page and just microsoft

sites.

Thanks for any info

I can't to any microsoft Web site.

Sounds like a DNS issue.   Use nslookup to check.   Use ping n 1 w 1 to attempt to cache a browser search.  Use ipconfig/displaydns to check if the search is cached.   A problem with many Microsoft research is that they have several alias and have very short life values.   It is very difficult to take any advantage of cached searches.  An alternative is to substitute the search using your HOSTS file, but then the IP addresses of host Microsoft tend to be transitory.  In fact, this point suggests something to check first: make sure that there are no replacement of microsoft in your HOSTS file.   Remove them and do an ipconfig/flushdns, if there is.   ; )

  • Cannot access the Microsoft Update Site

    I get the following error message when you try to access the update site:

    Microsoft Update could not be installed on your computer

    Make sure that you log on as an administrator or as a member of the Administrators group, and then try again.

    More troubleshooting options

    • If your computer is connected to a network and the problem persists, contact your system administrator to see if your Microsoft Update settings are managed by using Group Policy.
    • If your computer is not connected to a network, or if your system administrator has not disabled Microsoft Update, check if the Windows Update service is disabled or stopped. For information about how to start a service, search help and Support on your computer.

    Note: If you encounter problems with the installation of Microsoft Update, you can continue to get updates for your computer by going to Windows Update in control Panel.

    [Error number: 0x800A01AE]

    I AM logged on as administrator (it's actually the only account on the system other than the guest account: I have renamed the main administrator account and use it as my account {I know this isn't the best practice, but I always did like it and it makes things easier being the administrator, especially since I changed the name for security reasons}).  I have a small home network wireless, but have no defined group policy (no server - just-to-peer).  The Windows Update Service is launched and running (but I stopped and restarted it just to be safe).

    I don't quite know what to do next.  I would like to be able to access this site for updates that cancelled or failed during the update process automatic (and who seem not to be re - that appear as options when I check the updates).

    Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated...

    BTW, I use a Dell Inspiron E1705 with 32-bit Windows Vista Business SP2.

    Hello

    You try to go actually on here Windows Updates site?

    http://www.update.Microsoft.com/microsoftupdate/v6/default.aspx?ln=en-us

    This site does not work for Vista. You must use the Windows built-in to Vista updates or download them
    sites I posted for you last time.

    Absolutely do not use the default Administrator account. Just make a new Admin account to
    use and leave the other to test and difficulty. In fact, make an Admin NOW account to use to test and fix
    According to the needs. If your sole administrator corrupts you will have a big headache.

    Recently, our site is accessible outside of our network. Can access the House, phone etc but not at work. I am just welcomed with "cannot display page" site is hosted by an external company. We run server 2008r2 in an environment terminal server. I tried to disable the antivirus, firewall and could not see anything on the cyberoam firewall that might prevent the site to connect, even if I did have a lot of experience with the cyberoam. I can't ping on the website of the local computer or servers. Hope someone may be able to point me in the right direction.

  • After format and install Win XP Home and SP3 why can't open the Microsoft web sites?

    Need help, guys

    I had to replace my HARD drive in my computer. I installed my Windows XP Home SP2 disc. After installation, I used my SP3 upgrade drive and my drive to upgrade to IE8. After you install all my drivers, I tried to get Windows dates and discovered that I could not access the Microsoft web sites. I get Internet Explorer cannot display this page. I tried to find out why this is happening and how to correct the situation, but have not found an answer that works yet. Can someone give me an answer to this question.

    I have another (used) computer that I formatted the HDD installed and on Windows 7 and have had no problems to access the Microsoft web sites on. It uses the same modem cable like the other computer so I guess that everything is ok with my Internet connection. This problem seems to be only with Windows XP Home SP 3.

    Think in advance for any help

    Btk (billy the kid)

    Please do not share in the whole "BOLD". Which makes it hard to read!

    Please check that SP3 is installed:
    Start | Run
    Type:
    winver
    Press OK.
    Also, tell us what you mean by "trying to get Windows dates" since there are two ways to do this!

    Or you can also borrow the same exact retail edition DVD of Windows 7 and use your product key to reinstall.

    The COA sticker with the product key is either or in the battery compartment on the underside of the laptop.

    With a desktop computer, it's on the side, the back or the top of the computer case.

  • Virgins of the Microsoft Web sites

    Hello

    Had a problem with www. Microsoft.com/en-gb/ and other Microsoft Web sites.  The pages would empty.  If I saw the source of the page, it showed what appeared to be good code but it wouldn't display.  Tried it on 3 computers and different browsers and finally discovered our firewall was blocking these 2 sites; optimizely.com & webtrends.com.  Additional troubleshooting led me to below errors in firefox debugging:

    Do you remember the last time that your Media Player worked properly?  You can use the system restore (type it in the start menu to find) to go back on this point.  This restoration takes about 2 minutes and will not affect your files - no matter how far you go.  It simply restores your system files and settings.

  • Is it possible to download an image (.iso) of the operating system from the Microsoft Web site?

    As I've already bought the computer with the operating system installed on it and apparently I have not received any CD of the OS with it. But I have the ID of the product on the computer... is there a way where I could get a copy .iso of my operating system on the Microsoft Web site?

    On-site upgrades are not well regarded by some contributors of this forum, including me. However if you want to try, I refer you to this link for an iso download...
