Hi and Welcome to Bleepingcomputer!

Do you see this forbidden 403 error on every url you try or just a certain site you are trying to get drivers from?

Thanks in advance.
Please take notice. Oreo and I will not be available until June of 2012.
Thank you for understanding my absence, it is job and college related, so all is good. If I do not answer your PMs this is the reason why. See you all soon!

Bruce.

There might be a firewall setting blocking you. Your hosts file could be another reason too. You might want to read this information from Microsoft to see if you can resolve the problem with their suggestions.
