For the past couple of
days I notice that the
Microsoft.com home
page is not visually
appealing. However the
others at Microsoft.com
look ok, e.g., msdn, etc...

Did I forget to download
somekind of critical update
to view the homepage or
something?

Hello,

Your HOSTS file is blocking the server hosting the CSS file that the site
uses.

Make sure i2.microsoft.com is not blocked in your HOSTS file.

thanks.

your information was certainly helpful.

i'd remembered that i had other browsers
and disovered that microsoft.com
appeared ok in them.

so i went back to ie, resetted
the internet explorer settings and
now i can see that home page
normally again this morning.

i don't recall with fiddling any of the
settings. But i did uninstall some
adobe software a few days ago...

thanks again for the clues that helped
solve this mystery.

(pretty bad idea, when microsoft's
browser can't see it's parent's homepage.
maybe it's teenage rebellion...)

thanks for the link.

i had contemplated as such, but
thought that it was not worthwhile
for a simple matter of not viewing
a popular webpage, e.g. microsoft.com

a suggestion/clue was provided
by another respondant.

and though the problem is now
solved, the question remains as
to why.... (however, i'll save the
question for a rainy day)

thanks again for helping....
