Hello my good friends!
I am running XP SP3 all updates current, today Oct 6, 2015 I clicked on "windows up date", and here comes on some kind of screen that is from Microsoft that is about "internet services". and has nothing to do with the correct up date screen.
I have four computers, all Dell GX 270s, all XP SP3. Sometimes I can get the correct screen for windows up date if I reset clock to internet time, but this does not always do the trick. I tried Firefox and Chrome, deleting the history, made sure no virus was on the computers, no malware etc but no change in results
I am running AVG antivirus.
Sometimes the correct "up date screen" comes on some times its the "Internet services screen." There doesn’t seem to be any way to make the proper “up date screen” come on every time.
I do notice that after re booting or first boot in the day, if you click on the "windows Update" icon and do it right away after all the things load on the computer, then i seem to get more constant lock up with the proper windows update web site, but if you leave the computer on for a while and if I try to go to the windows up date site then it will redirect to the window internet services site. Again I have four computers here all are doing the same thing.
I when I click on “Microsoft updates”, the computer will go to any of one of these sites:
http://www.update.microsoft.com/micr....aspx?ln=en-us
This is the correct Microsoft web site that should appear for updates, but at random it will redirect to one of the below sites:
This is the “internet services screen that comes up some times when I click on "windows Update" http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/
Or the screen below ( web address) comes up some times which says the web site isn’t available, or there is something wrong with it so it cant be viewed:
http://www.update.microsoft.com/wind...n=en&&thankspa[/
I am fully aware support ended in 2014, but I have never had any problems connecting to the updates web site until recently. I am concerned because any re installs of XP that I do may not work if a person cant get to the proper update site to install all the back updates.
Any help would be appreciated.
