I'm seeing the same problem and it has been driving me crazy for the lst
several days as I've tried to find a solution.
I've got three different computers running Vista, and two can go to nbc.com,
and one fails with the same symptoms reported above.
The computers that work are running Vista Business Service Pack 1 (had SP1
RC1 installed that I uninstalled and then installed the real SP1 from via my
MSDN subscription download) and Vista Home Premium SP1 (no RC1 ever
installed).
The computer that fails is Vista Business SP1 (no RC1 ever installed).
And of course the computer that fails is my wife's. And she thinks it worked
before I updated her to SP1.
Any help in fixing this would be great.
