Hello all-
I have a laptop running XP Home edition with SP2. After downloading
the windows update "KB890830" (malicious software removal), internet
explorer is able to connect to some webpages, and not to others. The
problem seems to be pretty clearly related to this windows update -
before downloading it this problem did not occur, and directly after it
does occur.
I have searched for hours on Google groups, and have tried a number of
things, including all the standard cached file deleting, resetting
security parameters to default values, pinging DNS servers, running
spybot S&D, etc, etc. This computer does not get a lot of use and has
been recently wiped clean and upgraded to SP2. The anti virus and anti
spyware has been diligently updated, so it is highly unlikely that this
is a virus or spyware problem.
Anyway, I'd love some help! I did see a posting in this group titled
"Critical Update KB890175 and KB890830 " that seemed to be the same
problem, but with no solution.
again, the problem here is that about 50% of websites i am unable to
connect to and receive the standard "This Page Cannot be Displayed"
error page with "Cannot find server or DNS Error" at the bottom.
any help would be appreciated!
