    Windows update is not working.
    « on: October 24, 2008, 09:42:18 AM »
    I have Windows Xp Pro sevice pack 3.
    When I use Internet Explorer to go Windows Update site it opens only white empty page.
    That white page has some source code:

    Other pages work as they should.
    If I go to Windows update using Firefox, I get page saying I should IE 7...
    I am not sure but I think that I get automatical updates normally.
    I have tried to add Windows update to trusted site but it didn't help.

    What should I do to fix it?

    I'd install the JRE ( Java Runtime Environment ) from http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp ( sun microsystems ). Your system may be lacking java script support.

      Java works in my Firefox, but should try intalling it anyway?

        I have them as trusted, but it didn't help.

        I also noticed someting: If I go to Windows update with Firefox having User Agent Switcher on ( It makes my browser say that it is IE 7) i get same white empty page. But if I have User Agent Switcher off, i get normal page saying that I should use IE 7.

              The log is clean.
              Close IE.
              Go Start>All Programs>Accessories>System Tools, and click on Internet Explorer (no add-ons). Same thing?

                Did you: Uncheck the "require server verification" checkbox

                If you did, in IE, go Tools>Internet Options>Advanced tab, click on "Reset" button.
                Restart computer.

                Do you use router?

                  I have HomePNA (Housing community shares one ADLS connection with it to everyone).
                  So i  assume that there must be router in data center.
