Windows Update errors after long time waiting, certain webpages fa

[Guest spider_d]

Hi, here is all the info I think relevant. I'm desperate for a little help.

 

I upgraded from XP Media Center to Vista Home Premium. All up-to-date before

install. First thing I did is try and update vista, but the windows update

bar just scrolls and scrolls, then gives an error. A new error every time I

try. So, I open IE7 to try and find solutions. Any webpage from microsoft

won't load, and other pages too. I try Firefox, same problem. I re-install

fresh copy of XP with formatted drive, install vista, same problem. I install

XP, update everything, install vista, same problem. I remove router, same

problem. I try a buddies modem, same problem.

 

I've install vista ten times with the same problem. Windows update gives

errors and certain web pages won't load.

 

I run Mcafee Internet Security. It won't install once I install vista. The

download screen never changes. It's like it won't download either.

 

I installed only Mcafee before installing Vista, still no updates and

loading web pages problem.

 

System:

Asus P5N32-E SLI

E6600

2 GB Corsair XMS2 6400-PRO

eVGA 7600 GT in SLI

Latest drivers for Vista from nVidia

Windows Xp Media Center

Upgrade disk Windows Vista home premium

 

 

Please help. I love the Vista interface, but can't log on to half the web

pages that I need and can't update half the programs I own, including Vista

itself!

 

Ive tryed all kinds of tricks for the reported error codes. I've disabled

services, firewalls, anti-virus, bit defender. I've started services too. I'm

now back on XP!

 

many thanks,

 

Dan

Hi spider, suggest perhaps the Vista installation newsgroup -

http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?dg=microsoft.public.windows.vista.installation_setup&cat=en_US_9CA88DDB-D18D-FA0E-A366-6E527B0FBA67&lang=en&cr=US
