I can't go to microsoft.com, I get an error page. I've also encountered by visiting other sites that I need to update my internet explorer. Is there a way to do that without going through MS?

What kinda error page?? You mean you can't passed the Microsoft Authenticity test? If its so....you still can update your windows and IE through the auto update function. All you have to do do is just go to control panel>automatic updates>click enable auto update

What version of IE and Windows are you using?

You could use Firefox instead of IE from www.mozilla.com/ . It's free!

Sounds more like you are having a DNS problem, try pinging www.microsoft.com from a command prompt.
