I recently installed windows 7 64-bit and everything seemed ok. I found out that i needed to install the new zune 64bit program, and then when i tried to download it, i got a quick kick out of the website and a "Failed to connect". I am also getting this when i try to download anything from microsoft, and i cannot access Windows update either. Can someone please end my frustration?

HiCheck the following KB article.Error message in Internet Explorer 8 on a computer that is running Windows 7 Release Candidate (RC): "A webpage is not responding" Hope this helps.Thank You for testing Windows 7 Ronnie Vernon MVP

nope. This doesn't seem to be the problem. Especially because i'm using mozilla and getting the same problem. It seems anything microsoft branded will not download and kicks me out of the site. I don't understand why, because everything else works fine.

Does this still happen? Maybe it was just a temporary service disruption. -Nick

Hello conceptlost,Have you tried using Internet Explorer in Compatibility View mode? Does this let you complete the download?-Scott
