Secure Connection

[T. Jenkins]

I'm having problems accessing secure sites in IE 6,
running on a Win 98SE computer. IE seems to browse ok to
all sites except those that are secure. For example, if
I try to logon to my hotmail account, I get a "page not
found" error. Similar experience when trying to logon to
home baking site, airline checkin, etc.

I've checked lots of security settings, but couldn't
figure out what causing this.

Help is appreciated.

Hi Todd - Well, start here:

Go to start/run Type in: regsvr32 softpub.dll Press Enter or click OK

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