Whenever I try to download from Microsoft.com, I get an error message saying
that the page cannot be displayed. I was going to download the .NET
framework, but it never lets me. The same with other files. I can download
fine from other websites, I only get the problem with Microsoft. Also, for
some reason I was only able to download something from the Microsoft Office
website. If it helps, I think it could have something to do with owning a
pre-installed version of Windows (Service Pack 2)
