• 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!

Even if it is now at the level of the SP3, the automatic updates from the Microsoft web site will not work. If I bought the latest version of the SP3 CD-ROM, which will be the same as what I have now, or it will integrate all of the fixes that have taken place in recent years?

  Hello

  Welcome to the Microsoft community!

  You can either reinstall the computer, which means it will have ANYTHING to this topic, or you can do a system restore when it was working fine.

  Hey borq Queen,.

  Welcome back you hear. If, after completing all the steps below, you are still unable to create or join a homegroup, I think that the issue is to do with IP/V6.

  Check your setting of the adapter for IP/V6. Your network connection must have IPv6 enabled to create or join a homegroup. If it is disabled, follow the steps below to activate it.

  (1) right click on the network icon and select open network and sharing Center.

  (2) in the window that appears, select change the parameters of the map.

  (3) in the network connections window, select the connection to the Local network for the Integrated NIC, and then change the settings for this connection or the file > properties.

  (4) in the connection properties page, check the box for Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6).

  Close all windows and restart your system.

  Try to create a homegroup.

  You should be able to create or join one after the activation of the IP/V6.

  Kind regards
