Hi Folks,

Can anyone explain why when I log onto my hotmail account I always get
the following message " Revocation information for the security
certificate for this site is not available. Do you want to proceed?"


Remove "NOT" from email address to reply via email"

Later,
Malcolm
 
It's due to your settings in IE Tools>Internet Options>Advanced>Security,
and possibly at Tools>Internet Options>Security> [zone in which you're
logging on to Hotmail] > Custom Level.

Treat Hotmail, MSN and .NET Passport as Secure Sites, requiring that your
computer be able to negotiate SSL protocols when logging in, so any of these
third-party applications may be interfering (as well as hijackware):
anti-virus, firewall, anti-spam tools, "system" tools (NSW, NIS, anything by
McAfee). The best approach would be to disable all of them and, assuming
Hotmail then works properly, re-enable each application in turn, by itself
with no others running, to see which one or which combination is causing the
problem. If the machines are on a network, that's another area to consider
when troubleshooting.

I don't know since SP2 is still in beta testing and there
is no public support for SP2 beta.
