vista browser issue

[newfdog]

I am having a problem opening some wesites in vista.
Initially I thought it was an IE 7 issue

This site I am trying to open requires entering a user name and password

I could not open the site from day one when i bought my Acer Aspire 9410
laptop with vista pre - installed

I downloaded Mozilla Firefox and was able to enter the website in question.

I did not visit the site in a little while but the last time i went back to
enter the site I could not enter the site from either browser.

Tried MS vista help but every suggestion they recommended I tried with no
succes

Some suggestions were java update problems and /or security settings issues
or widows upate problems

I have tried them all with no success

Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions as to what is causing the
issue and any possible solutions?

Do we have to guess what methods you've tried, which website you're trying
to sign into and what sign-in protocol is being used?

sorry a bit computer illiterate when it comes to protocol

site is www.mail.gov.nl.ca

i can access the ste on my other computer running windows xp
just can't on my new latop through wireless connection

Could it be because the site require Microsoft Outlook?
