help logging into websites

[Guest]

Lately when i use internet explorer 6, to log into a web page it wont let me.
it tells me that web page cannot be loaded. it does it with email like
hotmail, yahoo, and other websites that i am a member of. I can use MS
Outlook to log in fine to my hotmail, but not IE. I downloaded firefox and i
can log into web pages with no issues.

I have Win XP PRO with SP2

i delete all cookies and cache files. I also use webroots window washer to
help clear internet tracks and left overs. curretnly i use window washer 6.

any help will be greatly appreciated

Hi,
A couple of years ago, I tried Window Washer, very briefly, and it caused
problems with sites which required a login.

Try disabling Window Washer and other security, privacy, ad-blocking
programs to see if one of them is causing this.

Many other possibilities at:

and
http://www.mvps.org/inetexplorer/answers2.htm#secure_sites

Some of the procedures in this article will be worth trying:

The sites you mention probably require cookies. Go to Tools | Internet
Options | Privacy and make sure these sites are allowed to install cookies.

Thnx for the replies, but the first reply applies to sp1 and i have sp2,
there are a couple things in it for sp2 but they dont seem to apply, or
atleast dont seem to fit into my situation..

As far as the cookies go, i recieve cookies from the sites just fine, so i
know that works ok.

I only use windows washer once in a while just to clean things up, its not
running all the time and clearing cookies as it goes.

The problem seems to be intermittent, as now sometimes i can log in to the
sites and sometimes i cant.

I am at the point of thinking of reformatting my drive so that will fix the
problem fro sure..but i want to avoid doing it as i hate that seeminly
endless task.

Hi,
This article http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;870700
lists a number of quick, easy steps you should try.

The intermittant nature of the problem is a little puzzling.

Make sure your firewall is not blocking port 443.
