Trying to access officeupdate.microsoft.com.
I get a rendering of the page which is just plain text and links.
As if the page had been written 10 years ago.
When I select "Check for Updates", I get this message:
---snip---
Internet Explorer version 5.5 or later is required
The Office Update site can perform detection on your computer and tell
you exactly which updates you need! To take advantage of this service,
please return to this site with MSN Explorer or Microsoft Internet
Explorer version 5.5 or later installed. If you are already using
Internet Explorer 5.5 or later and you are using Internet Security,
Internet Privacy, or personal firewall products, the products may be
interfering with browser detection. Please temporarily turn off these
products and then try visiting this site again. For more information
about this issue, see the Microsoft Knowledge Base article 832765.

When I (from the front page) select "Download today's clip", I get
---snip---
Warning: You are viewing this page with an unsupported Web browser.
This Web site works best with Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01 or
later or Netscape Navigator 6.0 or later.
---snip---
I am running Internet Explorer 6.02900.2180.xpsp_sp2_gdr.050301-1519.
All Windows updates are installed (windowsupdate.microsoft.com still
works).
I have tried to solve the problems by going through the usual motions:
- clear cookie cache
- set browser language
- clear temporary files
- sfc /scannow
- set all browser settings (security as well) to their default values
- reinstall msjava and Sun java
- disabling Windows XP firewall (no other firewall products installed)
- checked for spyware (with SpyBot Search & Destroy as well as Windows
Defender)
- checked for virus (with McAfee)
- (and probably more)
But so far no luck.
Am I the only one experiencing this problem? At least FireFox gives me
a nice rendering of the officeupdate front page, but - of course -
this won't allow me to perform the office update function.
TIA,
Joergen Bech
