Windows Update Site Trouble??

Is the update site down or having problems? Or is my IE 7 the reason I can't
get through?

I have one machine that will not load the update page. Other machines with IE
6 and IE 7 are downloading properly. ... I await the answer, too.

Windows version?

Does this behavior persist if you start IE7 in No Add-ons mode?

To start IE7 in No Add-ons mode:

1. Right-click on the blue IE desktop icon and select Start without Add-ons;

2. Start > (All) Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Internet Explorer
(No add-ons).

This was in a post above and it worked for me.

Also some have had success with

1. Stop the Automatic Updates service, clear the contents of the DataStore
and Download
folders, and restart the Automatic Updates service.
Stop the Automatic Updates Service.
Click Start, Choose Run, In the Run box, type services.msc.
Click OK.
Right-click the Automatic Updates service.
Select Properties.
Under Service status, click Stop.
Click OK.

2. Delete the Contents of the DataStore and Download folders.
Click Start, Choose Run, In the Run box, type %windir%\SoftwareDistribution
Click OK.
Delete the contents of both the DataStore and Download folders

3. Start the Automatic Updates Service
Click Start, Choose Run, In the Run box, type services.msc.
Click OK.
Right-click the Automatic Updates service.
Select Properties.
Under Service status, click Start.
Click OK.
