problems with windows updates

[Guest]

since I applied the critical updates last week (the ones meant to fix the bug
in IE), I have been unable to access certain information on particular web
sites.
for example, I cannot get to the point on some websites that ask for me to
enter my account number (no box shows on my screen) etc.
has anyone else experienced issues with IE since applying these updates??

Hi Will,
In my case (running both XP-pro & XP-Home at SP2/ IE 6-SP2), no problems.
I'd have you consider adding the sites (you do "trust" & that require a login) into the Trusted sites list in I.E. & see if it helps.

Fill in the following example-site with the real name of the website you trust.

Refine settings in Internet Explorer browser. Add *your site* to the trusted sites list in the Internet Options.

To access the Exceptions settings.

1. Open Internet Explorer browser

2. Click Tools / Internet Options

3. Click the Security Tab

4. Click on the Trusted Sites Icon

5. Click on the Sites button

6. Unselect the check box "Require server verification (httpsfor all sites in this zone"

7. Add your site

8. Apply changes.

Do this to tweak the pop-up blocker in I.E.-SP2 browser.
From Internet Explorer main menu, select Tools, then Popup blocker, then popup blocker settings.
For address of Web site to allow, type in
YOURSITE.com

Press Add, then press Close.

If one of the websites uses HTTPS access:
verify that you can connect to SSL-dependent Web sites (sites that start with https://).

In I. E. browser, main menu: select Tools >Internet Options > Advanced Tab > (scroll down thru
the list)
under Security :

Use SSL 2.0 (ON / selected)
Use SSL 3.0 (ON)
