Any tech savy folks around...

Hmmmmm...Could be something in your security settings maybe??? I'm not an expert though...If you go into Toos, then Internet Options, there will be a spot for Security settings..YOu could try that....

Dunno..I'll try to keep this bumped for someone who knows what they're talking about.

Thanks Jess...I have been through those settings with a fine tooth comb...no results. I'd bet my last dollar that my son did something!lol

Tie him to the chair until he figures out what the heck he did...lol

Did you click 'no' when entering a secure website? You need to allow the website to share information with you before entering in it. If you have clicked 'no' the website won't allow you to enter. You will have to go to your browser settings.

Tools - Internet options - security - trusted sites - add this website to the zone(give the url) - add

I am thinking it might be this...

support.microsoft.com/kb/821814/

Something really quirky..

Or you need to go to Tools - Internet options - Advanced - Scroll down to security - and check the boxes Use SSL 2.0 and Use SSL 3.0 with a tick. Click ok

Help!!!!

I have done all of the above mentioned stuff already! I even downloaded IE v7 (which is cool by the way), yet still no luck!

Weird....

Where's all the smarties around here? :) Vikas, Mike, etc? What can she do?

ummm yeah. i am clueless.

I am using firefox and not in good control with IE these days :(.

Try this http://support.microsoft.com/kb/870700 and see if it is of some help.

Are you using some filewalls or anti-virus apps?

Well I fixed it! I can now view secured webpages, including my online banking! I had to update my registry keys. Wow, what a headache.

Now I can't get into my hotmail...a girl just can't win.

Hotmail often undergoes some technical problems. Try to log in after a while. Hope you will get through.

Yeah, Hotmail is very goofy. It gets on my nerves.

Actually it was the IE7 that was not compatible with a lot of websites. IE7 is a 'beta' version, which means a test version. So I do not understand why 7 overwrote 6. I downloaded Fire Fox, which is pretty much the same as IE7, but websites work with it. Now I cannot download my free version of Mcafee with Fire Fox or IE7, so I am trying to figure out how to get 7 off and 6 back on. Oh and my power cord to my laptop seems to have a short in it. I love my life:)

Thanks Vikas! I will try that after I get a new power cord. I am on my son's laptop which has a bootleg keyboard!LOL
