Unable to Access Google Site with Vista Ultimate-bummer

Posted: 08-16-2007, 06:36 PM
I can not access this site:
http://www.google.com/calendar/ical/...blic/basic.ics
Internet explorer returns an error that either the site is unavailable
or not found. I have no problem with XP on my other machine. Is there
a fix ?

It's not a site... it's a US holidays calendar file.

Copy the URL
open Windows Calendar
click on Subscribe
paste the URL

Thanks Dave. Your procedure worked.
Funny, I was able to download basic.ics using my backup computer (soon
to be my primary) with XP Pro and copied the file in my state of the
art Vista Ultimate machine and opened it in calendar.


Very annoying feature.
