Can’t connect to Connect?
I had a strange problem a couple of days ago. I pointed IE8 to the Microsoft Connect site (connect.microsoft.com) but IE8 couldn’t display and it reported an error. I closed the browser and started over…same error. The site would display OK in FireFox or Chrome. I then deleted my cookies and my temp files and got the same error. I then pointed my browser to a site with a Live ID sign on so I could signed out (I was already signed in) and signed in back again. I then pointed my browser back to connect.microsoft.com and it worked.
Who’s the culprit? IE8? Live ID? Connect?
