TIPS & TRICKS: Error in trying update Windows XP after installing Microsoft Update

Here's the error message I received:

"The website has encountered a problem and cannot display the page you are trying to view..."

Apparently, there are many error codes that might go along with it. It will show to the upper right of the above message. There may be other issues on the machine generating the error, including firewall issues and other blocks. But, the fix that worked for me was using the ipconfig /flushdns command.

Here's how to run it...

- Hit Start
- Click on Run
- Type "cmd" in the Run dialogue box
- When the command window comes up, type ipconfig /flushdns at the command prompt and hit enter
- Close the command window

Try running Windows Update (or Microsoft Update) again. Good luck.
