Version: 6.0.2600.0000IS
Cipher Strength: 0-bit
Product ID: 55736-OEM-4527584-04176
Update Versions: 0
This is a customized version of Internet Explorer.


Steps I followed from Microsoft Web Site for Windows 98
Second Edition

Method 2: Microsoft Windows 95, Microsoft Windows 98,
Microsoft Windows 98 Second Edition
Click Start, point to Settings, click Folder Options, and
then click the View tab.
In the Advanced settings box, click Show all files, click
to clear the Hide file extensions for known file types
check box (if it is selected), and then click OK.
Start Windows Explorer, and then browse to the
drive:\Windows\System folder, where drive is the drive on
which Windows is installed.
Rename the Schannel.dll, Rsabase.dll, and Rsaenh.dll files
(if present) by using the .old extension. To do so:
Right-click the Schannel.dll file, and then click Rename.
Type schannel.old, and then press ENTER
Repeat steps 2a through 2b to rename the Rsabase.dll and
Rsaenh.dll files to Rsabase.old and Rsaenh.old.
Reinstall Internet Explorer. To do so, use the method that
is appropriate for your version of Internet Explorer:
Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0
Download and install Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 , or
reinstall Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 from the
following Microsoft Web site:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/downloads/ie6/default.a
sp
NOTE: If the Reinstall all items? dialog box is displayed,
click Reinstall all components, and then click OK.
Restart the computer. Start Internet Explorer, and then
click About Internet Explorer on the Help menu. Verify
that Cipher Strength is 128-bit.


Result from looking at IE6: Help -> About Internet Explorer

Version: 6.0.2800.1106IS
Cipher Strength: 0-bit
Product ID: 55736-OEM-4527584-04176
Update Versions:; SP1;
This is a customized version of Internet Explorer.

Method 2 did not work! This is still Cipher Strength 0-
bit! Does anyone know the method to correct the Cipher
strength to be 128-bit?

Thanks,
