Copy and paste the following in your Start menu Run box and then hit Enter: notepad %systemroot%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts Make sure that www.microsoft.com or microsoft.com is not in the list, if you find them delete the entry. Leave other "fake" microsoft entries like www.microsoftantispyware.net or microsoftantispyware.net on the list. John

cannot access microsoft.com
There are some malware infections that specifically block Microsoft.com.
Have you thoroughly checked your system? Have up to date antivirus? I suggest also running Malwarebytes http://malwarebytes.org/ and SUPERAntiSpyware http://www.superantispyware.com/ Checking your host file as the other poster mentioned is worthwhile, and you may or may not see an erroneous entry for Microsoft.com, but you need to address the issue of how it got there and the likelihood of ongoing problems. -- "si0797" wrote in message ... please help!i cant access microsoft with internet explorer,mozilla or media player!have set it as a trusted site but still no joy.i have 2 other computers on my network and they can all access it.can anyone help?
