For the past month I have tried to bring up the ModelPoint USA web site about a half dozen times. Each time I get a strange error page, not the usual 404 type thing or the usual Internet Explorer Cannot Connect type error. It's a page saying that there are errors with the site but the errors can't be displayed, blah, blah, blah. I'm no slouch when it comes to computers and the Internet, but this is a new one on me.I have never seen this type of error page before. I wondered if their site may have been one of the 55,000 websites recently infected with malware or the group of sites attacked previous to that batch and still down. I also thought maybe the site has been taken down and remnants are still there so my PC is trying to connect but can't complete the process.

For anybody interested I'm using Internet Explorer 8 with Windows XP Pro SP3 with Norton Internet Security 2009 as my firewall and virus protection.

If you can get to the site OK pleased advise, or if there is a problem with it I would appreciate that information as well. Thanks!

Thanks Dave. I'm going to dig out the dusty old laptop that still has IE7 on it and see if it will connect. I'm trying to locate a 1/35 metal 37 mm cannon barrel for a Renault LT-17 tank. I need a pair of MG 13K barrels as well for another project.
