windows update website not displaying

Your pc might be infected with the silent win32/conficker virus. Webroot Security immediately got rid of it. I tried malwarebytes, and other methods of trying to fix this problem & nothing. Just google webroot & download the trial. It's worth subscribing to.

Windows Update page cannot be displayed

10-Dec-07



Hello all,

This one's got me stymied...

My Mom just bought a brand new Dell desktop with XP Pro on it. Not

refurbed, but brand-new. She took delivery and got it powered up on

Wednesday, got her DSL installed on Friday, and didn't touch a thing until I

called her Saturday morning. I walked her through installing AIM Pro, using

which I then shared and controlled her desktop for the purpose of configuring

everything and giving her a computer tutorial.



At work, the first thing I do when I start a newly delivered machine is hit

Windows Updates to ensure everything's at its latest. I did this with Mom's

machine and IE opened and crunched for a while before showing me a Page

Cannot Be Displayed error. It's running IE6, so I know now that it

definitely needs some updates.



Checked all IE options and found nothing out of place, but reset all

defaults just to be sure, no go.



Downloaded and installed Firefox, tried http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/

through brand new installation, no go.



Tried www.microsoft.com via Firefox, no go.



Same story for support.microsoft.com. The machine seems to stumble on

anything that has "microsoft" in the URL.



I checked all those sites on my own machine and they all opened just fine in

both Firefox and IE7.



Spoke with her ISP, they said they're not blocking anything microsoft, and

that they "recommend running Windows Updates to all their customers". Cool,

man...



Downloaded and installed IE7 to Mom's machine via MajorGeeks.com. Still no

go.



Disconnected desktop sharing and closed AIM Pro, walked Mom through Start >

Windows Update, still no go, same result.



Dell.com, CNN.com, AIM.com, aimpro download site, and numerous other sites

all work fine. It only hangs at things with "microsoft" in the URL.



HijackThis shows nothing out of place, aside from standard Dell bloatware,

through which I've never had a problem when working with work machines.



Installed WhatsRunning, disabled everything bloat from startup, rebooted,

still no go.



Installed Avast Home antivirus, scan shows nothing.



Less than 10 files created in Windows\System and System32 folders since Mom

powered it up, and they all check out fine.



Standard frequency of reboots included throughout these steps. I haven't

tried anything in Safe Mode yet, as the machine's 600 miles away from me.

Mom's an absolute beginner with computers, and I haven't worked up the

courage for that phone call yet. Have not yet contacted Dell either, as I

was hoping to find something I may have forgotten after searching the web.

Found nothing even close.



I'm hoping someone here can think of anything I may have forgotten.



Thanks in advance,

I know you asked only for the last 50 lines, but I've copied everything from

back when I was actually working on it through right now, in case you need to

see something older.

Are you saying that IE can reach other sites?

If not your symptom could be explained as blocking by a firewall

or a proxy being configured but not operating.









Switch to a cmd window and use nslookup to verify that the lookups

are being done in a timely fashion. BTW for microsoft sites you will

probably notice that they are aliases for other caching servers.

In that case be aware that the only way to cache that lookup in XP

is to ping -n 1 both the alias name and the canonical name.

E.g. pinging just the alias name caches only the CNAME record

and not the A record containing the IP address. Use ipconfig /displaydns

to see these details. Getting a lookup cached and using it within its

Time To Live might help IE make a connection.



Use telnet 80 to show that you can reach an HTTP server using

such a lookup. It's better than ping because then you know that

you can establish an HTTP connection with a site.

Again though if it involves an alias and its canonical name

using just the alias would not cache the lookup.



You could also use Fiddler2 with its Request Builder (press F9)

to do a similar connectivity test with the additional advantage,

if something goes wrong with the request, that Fiddler tries to give you

a more intelligent guess about what is wrong than the abysmally useless

DNS error message that IE is usually limited to giving.









Deja vu. I was confounded by symptoms like this just yesterday.

Turned out it must have been One-Care Family Safety. Disabling it

and its service was not sufficient. I had to actually uninstall that product

before IE requests could reach the Internet. Before then there were

absolutely no clues about the cause of the blockage. It made me think

that we the users are sometimes caught in the cross-fire of competing

viral technologies from both the malware and anti-malware forces.

Poor usability seems to be the accepted collateral damage from that war.





Good luck

Send request isn't functioning. Here's the section of the log showing

Below is the Send request entry from the log on my system:

https://www.update.microsoft.com/v6/ClientWebService/client.asmx



Also, I don't see the Version level of the Windows Update Client showing

in the log. That's most likely related to Send request failing.



First, with Internet Explorer closed, go to Internet Options in the

Control Panel. Click the Connections tab

Click the LAN Settings button

IF Automatically detect settings is checked, UNcheck it

Make sure that there is no check mark under Proxy server

If you had to change any of the above, try Windows Update now and see if

the page can be displayed.



If NOT, start with downloading the latest Version of WUA and saving it

from here: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=91237



Prior to installing it, open a Command Prompt

Start > Run > Type in cmd

click OK or press Enter

At the prompt type these commands in, pressing Enter after *each one*



net stop wuauserv

ipconfig /flushdns

exit



Now install the Windows Update Agent previously downloaded by going to

Start > Run > click the Browse button

Navigate to WindowsUpdateAgent30-x86.exe and click once on it, then

click Open

Add a SPACE right after the last " [quotation mark] and then add

/wuforce



IF WindowsUpdateAgent30-x86.exe was saved to the My Documents folder,

the command should now appear as



"C:\Documents and Settings\\My

Documents\WindowsUpdateAgent30-x86.exe" /wuforce



Now click OK. Since the AU service was stopped there should be no need

to restart but if you are prompted to restart, please do so.

Restarting the system will restart the AU service.



IF there is no prompt to restart, then go back to a Command Prompt and

type in, then press Enter after each command



net start wuauserv

exit



Restart the system now

See if the system can access Windows Update now
