Cant access secure sites, please help...

[Plass]

I use IE6 and am not able to access secure sites despite having 128 bit
cypher strength. How can this be repaired? I have checked the security
settings to no avail. Also it isn't consistent, sometimes it opens them
sometimes not. (also thinking, if it was a setting problem wouldn't the
problem be across the board and more consistant?) At certain times I
cannot access non secured as well. I get the "page cannot be displyed"
screen. I have loaded Netscape and have no trouble but prefer to use IE6.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!



Thanks
