When I go to windows update and it tells me it is checking to see if my
computer has the latest version of updating software it just sits there
for a while then gives me a message that the website has encountered a
problem and cannot display the page i am trying to view.
Has anyone out there had this problem and how do you get around it?

Thanks

Thanks for pointing out the typo but that didn't work either.
Any other suggestions?
