every time i try to update windows, the link to the update page fails to load
up, and i get the "page cannot be displayed error". i have absolutely no idea
what has happened. i recently had to reinstall windows xp on my system due to
a hard drive copy error, but everything seemed to install fine with no
complications or errors. can anybody help me?
this is the only page that this happens, other than the occasional mishap
when navigating the internet.
