cannot view https/ssl websites in ie6 SP1

[Mike I]

keep getting page cannot be displayed..

noticed this happened around the same time i upgraded to msn messenger 6.1
(and still cannot login) see posts on messenger newsgroup.

i think this may all be related...

i also cannot view windows update, its says my time is wrong, even though my
computer is syncn'd with windows time server.

Wanted to let people know i found the solution. I recently enabled

'FIPS Compliant Cryptography' to increase the security of my file encryption
not knowing it would have these effects. Once disabled and rebooted problem
went away.
