Hi,

Im having trouble opening certain sites, or secured sites,
i was told on here to try delete temp files, clear ssl slate, reset internet
explorer, nothing worked, i even uninstalled internet security and didnt
solve it either, most sites work but sites such as www.sportsbet.com.au,
hotmail.com, and few others wont load up, the green loading light at bottom
just goes half way and stays there, and says waiting for www.site..... to
load,

ive heard of this before a few years ago and someone told me it ended up
being a really easy fix but i just cant remember what it was,

any help is appreciated

thank you

Ivan

[crosspost to IE General]

Please state your IE version and full Windows version (e.g., WinXP SP3).

What's "internet security"?

Are all of the problem sites secure (https:// ) sites?

Is the computer fully-patched at Windows Update?

What anti-virus application or security suite is installed and is your
subscription current? What anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)?
What third-party firewall (if any)?

Has a Norton or McAfee application ever been installed on this machine
(e.g., a free-trial version that came preinstalled when you bought it)?

Sportsbet loads fine here using IE8 and Windows Firewall.

In IE8 select Tools, Internet Options, Security. What Security Level has
been selected for the Internet Zone?

This link from the Trend Knowledge Base may help.

Hope this helps.

That's what we in the computer business call a "Clue."

I'd concentrate on that bugger:

Uninstall, restore to a date prior to its installation, etc.

If undoing what you did doesn't help, please refine your symptom description.

E.g. the two problem sites you mentioned probably both require HTTPS
Is there any sign of such a redirection occurring?

BTW consider *all* of the possible sources of what you can see for your
symptom description. E.g. besides the changes you mentioned seeing in
the Status bar, changes may be happening in the Address bar, the Title bar,
the tab label, as well as the window's display area. Remember, your words
have to substitute for what our eyes might notice. ; )

Given that that you are using Vista you should be pursuing your problem
in Vista / Internet Explorer newsgroups. The security arrangements in
Vista are not the same as in Windows XP.
