| 166999 | 2003-08-12 02:38:00 | Looking at a friend's 3-month old system - is a HP 1.8Ghz, 128Mb RAM, WinXP Home (128Mb shared RAM + WinXP = slow as a dog, naughty HP) with Service Pack 1. IE6 won't connect to sites when security is required (ie. logging into webmail) nor will it access Windows Update due to an "activeX controls" error. I've checked Microsoft Support and found a few sites with this error but it's not helping (or I'm not following their instructions properly!). Reset IE's settings to default, no effect. Also ran Ad-Aware, found 109 objects (eek) so system was pretty messed up. I have a feeling some software has changed something to do this. Norton Anti-virus was not working (on startup = "Norton has experienced an internal error. Please uninstall and reinstall") so took it off - still the same problems in IE so it wasn't that. Googled the error and found the net use command to disable the cryptographic service and re-enable, but now Windows Update just sits there until the dial-up connection drops-off from being idle! (5mins), still the same with security. No padlock, nothing. Try to do anything that requires it and I get a 404. I'm a bit stuck... Checklist of things to try next please clever PF1 ppls? |

(There is a FAQ what to backup etc...) & Then do ctrl + alt+de & see what is running in the background then after you done that have a look under System configuration utility & disable any thing that look doggy etc… if unsure, post here & we can tell you :) Then delete the empty of the TEMP & Temporary Internet Files after that Then run scan disk/Disk Defragmenter. That should do for now Let us know how you get on. |

| 167002 | 2003-08-12 03:44:00 | Go to Help/About IE Check the Cypher strength is showing 128 bit, if not that is the problem. Check you date and time is correct on your computer as this can affect the way Cookies are handled. |

The cypher strength was 128-bit, that was one of the first things I checked. > Check you date and time is correct on your computer > as this can affect the way Cookies are handled. Good point! The time was correct but I didn't think to check the date - hmm simple things. I'll check that when I go back (will be tomorrow night) Cheers |

It's a sorry fact that most brand-name PCs sold in our malls are like this, thank goodness for custom-built PCs I say (mmm... 1024Mb DDR333... *drool*) Now, if only I could build my own laptop... |
