I installed Windows XP Pro on a new system yesterday.
When I try to run the windows update, I get sent to the
following address:

http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/en/default.asp

and it tells me this is not a valid URL. I tried to run
windows update from another system and got the same
thing. Is anyone else having this problem? Can you get to
the windows update page?

Thanks!
