Subject: [!! SPAM] [bcab] windows update/Microsoft update problem

Hi all,

This afternoon I tried to use Microsoft Update , and found that it was going

to the following link:

http://www.update.microsoft.com/microsoftupdate/v6/default.aspx?ln=en-us


I found that if I changed en-us to en-uk I could get in, but the system came

up with the fact that it could not find the page if I used the link pasted 
above.

When I tried Windows Update  to see if there was a difference, it seemed 
that I could get into the US link for some reason.

Is this a Microsoft problem or do I have to do anything to change Windows 
Update and Microsoft Update so that they automatically go to the link ending

in en-uk rather than the one ending en-us?

Thank you in advance for any advice on a solution.
