Since Im having this issue in XP. I will post it here. I can't seem to get to windows update. All it displays is a blank page, same with hotmail. Has anyone else ran into this issue?

Are you using IE to access Updates?

[doubledragon5]

Yup always have. The problem seems to lie with IE. Not only am I having a issue trying to access hotmail, windows update, or even Microsoft.com (all blank pages) it started to happen to all sites. So what I tried to do was uninstall IE7, which I did and some sites including hotmail worked. But others still remained blank pages. I tried to reinstall IE7, but failed ms validation test?? Why I'm typing on a Dell, as I wait for my motherboard for my main system to return.. So I ran all the usual spy ware, and virus scans and all came back normal. After playing around with it for a few hrs, I just did a complete wipe and reinstall of windows, now everything is back to normal..

That usually works.

Yes it is, but sometimes it gets frustrating, when you spend hrs on end trying to figure out a good solution. Then when you wasted all that time, you end up doing what you figured you would have to do in the first place..
