However, I found this post and it covers exactly the symptoms, so I am not alone! "I have a home PC user problem, where Internet Explorer 6 SP2 running on Windows XP home addition can not get to secure web sites (i.e. HTTPS). This just started happening. No I have no idea what software may have been installed. Although I have been told it worked up until a few weeks ago. Windows XP Home SP2 Internet Explorer 6 SP2 128 bit encription Firefox web browser can access secure web sites so network and broadband access is working ok. gjkiwi Non secure web sites come right up. No problem. It is only secure web sites that are a problem. Running: SFC /scannow didn't find any Windows protected file problems. I'd rather not have to do an install inplace of XP if I can avoid it. Mainly because that could potentially also not resolve the problem either. OK, any body have suggestions or have run in to this before and know the solution?" As you can see, tis a mystery to me (and others) LOL	gjkiwi (7873)
