[Error] | Can't access Windows Update

[cybpsych]

I was wondering ...

Has any1 experiencing problem accessing Windows Update these few days?

I'm trying to access it but getting a Thank You page. Reloading it still won't solve.

Thank You Page:

Thank you for your interest in obtaining updates from our site.

Windows Update is the online extension of Microsoft Windows that helps you get the most out of your computer.

Follow these steps to access Windows Update through the Help and support Center:

Click Start, and then click Help and support.

If you are running Windows XP, click Keep your computer up-to-date with Windows Update.

If you are running a Windows Server 2003 family product, click Windows Update.

What's the URL of the "thank you" page?

Can you access it from the direct link?

yes, Microsoft Update is OK, Windows Update is not.

I've tried WU a few days ago, seems to be working fine. Now it doesnt work. strange!

i've found a KB: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?...kb;en-us;817144

Tried the registry edit, not solved. Maybe my corporate firewall is causing this. Will check with the admin.

on other note, MU detected i need 2 more updates for Office 2003. using OFfice Update, it found no updates required.

this has always been a conflict between WU/OU -> MU (can't see what WU/OU sees)
