IE6 Secure Site access - Frank Saunders

[myles davey]

I posted a problem accessing www.macquarie.com.au on Nov
17 and received a reply from Frank Saunders.

Frank, unfortunately after implementing each relevant
component of your recommendations I still cannot access
the site. Do you have any additional advice. Should I
clean my harddrive and reinstall Win XP and all my other
software?

I do appreciate you trying to help me out.

My original message and you response follows.

in message

I cannot access www.macquarie.com.au (a financial
website) using my new computer with Windows XP & IE6.
With my old laptop (Windows 98 & IE6 I have no trouble).

I have downloaded JAVA and re-downloaded the latest
version of IE6 with SP1. I have adjusted SECURITY LEVEL
to low and under PRIVACY used the edit command to always
allow cookies.

I continue to get the display "This page cannot be
displayed .... you may need to adjust your browser
settings"

I would apreciate advice - the macquarie website has been
unable to assist.

Only that site?

It may be a HOSTS file problem.
Look also for a file named HOSTS (no extension, could be hidden) rename it
OLDHOSTS.

Cannot Open, Display, find - errors. Look for some clues on this page.
