Cannot connect to secure sites

[Guest]

I'm running XP and IE 6 at home. Have recently started to have problems connecting to secure sites which require a login userid and password.

Checked out Microsoft's website, and found a patch for IE 6 Service Pack 1. Tried that, but it didn't work since my IE's not at SP1.

Tried to upgrade my IE6 to IE6SP1, but that failed too, saying the full blown version that I was trying wasn't certified for XP.

Finally downloaded Netscape 7.1, installed it, and it worked like a charm.

Still need to fix the Microsoft problem though, so does anyone have any suggestions that would help me. Appreciate the input. Thanks.

I am also having the same problem that just started. I
thought it was caused from a power spike, but maybe that
was only coincidental. I went to Tools, Internet
Options, Advanced, scrolled to the Security section and
verified that Use SSL 2.0, Use SSL 3.0, and Use TLS 1.0
are checked. I cannot get into my online banking,
Paypal, and others that require 128 bit encryption.
Anybody have any other ideas?

Netscape or Mozilla will probably not have the same problem.

But... Try this page
