I don't know what changed but can't open any secure sites.
Reloaded IE 6, deleted registry key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\.....\Schannel. Running Windows 98.
Reviewed knowledge library...no help. What should I do
next?

Henri,
Thanks for the quick response! I will request the fix from
MS. Could you explain the workaround section of the
posting so I could try it to see if it will work in the
mean time. What is a GET request and how do you send it
before sending the post request??
Thanks Again!
