GREAT !!! It works! I have been trying for 1 year, and now it is fixed
Thank you very much..

Thank you!

I've been reading the post about this and I am really confused. My system is up-to-date and don't need any updates but I was just checking. Last time I installed any updates everything worked fine. No problems with SSL or anyhting else for that matter. Only today when I went to scan for updates did I get the Time & Date Error message. It's true the HTTPS solution does work. But Microsofts site has been really buggy for like the past 2 weeks. I really think it's the site and not our computers or maybe its the Hotfixes. I really couldn't say. I do think Microsoft should DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT THOUGH.

All this talk about being proactive and protcecting your computer and you can't even get access to their update site. WTF???

I too have this problem. but this solution dosen't work. I am getting this page cannot be displayed msg. pl help

Tried your solution and it worked for me

But still wondering what changed since my last windows update of 4/20/04

I never had to change to Https
Thanks KC

If it was at Microsoft's end everyone would be having the issue.
As it is a lot are, but a lot work just fine.
No confirmation yet, but the last time there was a similar issue, it
was related to a caching issue at the local ISPs.
If that is the case, it will be resolved when your ISP flushes their
cache.
