This is a function of your Firewall utility. You need to add Microsoft to
the Safe List.

Thanks. I didn't notice the little combo box saying I was searching
for online help. I changed it to offline and the problem went away.

But I don't understand how this is firewall related. And also,
having logged in as administrator and looked at the Windows
Firewall settings, I don't understand how I would add Microsoft to
a safe list -- the list contains programs not sites.
