Can't Browse After FreshInstall
This is a Dell E510, 32 bit, which came with the OEM (Orange) "Windows
Media Center 2005 Edition with Update Rollup 2". At some point in it's life, Windows 7, and then Windows 7 Ultimate was installed (upgrades). Things went south after that, and the machine was put into storage for about a year and a half. Last night, I decided to resurect the machine, and do a fresh install of the original XP Media Center, Here's the problem. Internet Explorer 6 was installed. When launched it takes me to www.MSN.com, and I can click on the links on that page, but I have to stay within the MSN domain. If I try to go elsewhere, such as www.google.com,, I get "You are about to view pages over a secure connection...and if I hit OK, I get "The page cannot be displayed...". Using cmd.exe, I can ping yahoo, google, etc., and I get proper IPs. Also, I set up Outlook Express 6 and I can access all my email just fine. This must be a browser problem (IE 6), but I can't reach Windows Update to get it upgraded. Any way to install a browser on a USB drive and use to reach Windows Update? Other ideas? Thanks |
