IE 6 CAN'T ACCESS SECURE SITES - WINDOWS 2000

[Maggie OConnor]

Hi,

I am running Windows 2000 Pro with IE 6.0.2800.1106 SP1 and I cannot access
ANY secure sites. Aside from that, everything's fine.

I can't install a "new" version b/c it says I already have the newest
version. Not sure if this is correct solution anyway.. Spy Bot and Ad Aware
are all clean.

Have tried changing security settings, resetting defaults, etc. Have another
PC on home network (XP) and that one's fine. So assume my router/modem are
fine.

Any advice greatly appreciated..

Thanks - Maggie

Make sure your firewall is not blocking port 443. See also
