See if this is related : Error message after you install a Windows Internet Explorer 7
update from Windows Update or from Microsoft Update: "Webpage cannot be displayed"
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/942818
This problem may occur because the file signatures for the core Windows Internet Explorer
7 files may be changed when the update is installed. If a third-party security program is
installed on the computer, that program may then block the updated version of Windows
Internet Explorer 7 from accessing the Internet.
If not, then for IE7 assistance, please post to :microsoft.public.internetexplorer.general
newsgroup.

| Thanks for this info.
| I deleted the two Post Platform registry keys as per the main suggestion in
| the help websites you have indicated. That fixed Windows Updates - however
| it now takes a long time to for the updates to be shown.
| I also have other problems with my IE7 when I go to websites in which I need
| to use passwords. All this seemed to happen at the same time as the WU
| prob.
| It seems to me that IE7 must be corrupted. I did see one suggestion was to
| uninstall Silverlight - this was only installed recently - could this lead
| to some of the probs. I'm having?
