Post by thread:[OT]:: Microsoft Spaces not so wide open

I'm not usually a visitor to "social networking" sites such as Microsoft Spaces, but I wanted to look at a friends blog. On attempting to access http://spaces.msn.com I get an HTTP 500 error - "internal server error". The explanations says "This error (HTTP 500 Internal Server Error) means that the website you are visiting had a server problem which prevented the webpage from displaying." While it SAYS the fault is there Murphy says it may be here. However, - I can access the site and the specific users site from 2 other PCs on this LAN. - There is no firewall operating on this PC (there is one on the router but that is shared by the 2 other PCs as well). - I have reset all browser security settings to default. As I can access the site via the PCs the issue is more a puzzle than a major problem. General gargoyling and looking through the spaces help doesn't help (even though I'm sure the answer is there somewhere). Any clues? Russell

Could you try another browser (are you using IE, btw?) ? Yesterday and 2 days ago, on some customers' PCs, a popular italian webmail site did not work on IE... -- Ciao, Dario
