Can any of you PC pro's out there shed any light on a problem im having. My PC wont allow me to view any pages that have a secure connection and I cant access my MSN for some reason, been like this for 2 days now

Thanks in advance

 

Stoney, Theres a new PC help section at the bottom of the main page, can post you problems in there

 

its not just secure sites, its now most sites

Download Adaware 6 and let it sca your pc.. im sure someone will provide you with a link

 

can u tell us what operating system you are using (windows xp,98 etc)
and which browser.

and does problem happen all the time

whats the error message when using msn
and when you try and access secure web pages

have you installed any new software/hardware and then you have noticed thsi problem

i see where ranj is gong...

are you on broadband?

if youre on dialup, have you tried another ISP and does it do the same?

also have you tried resetting your cookies etc. (never know you might get lucky )

 

can u tell us what operating system you are using (windows xp,98 etc): XP Home

also detail exactly what you are doing
and does problem happen all the time
is it with certain sites : I can access most web pages fine, but when its a site where you have to sign in (eg Halifax / Paypal etc) I can get the home page no problem but I get the following message when trying to log :
The page cannot be displayed
The page you are looking for is currently unavailable. The Web site might be experiencing technical difficulties, or you may need to adjust your browser settings. "
As I say its been like this for 3 days now.

When trying to access MSN messenger I get the following message: Sorry, we could not sign you in because the sign-in name you entered does not exist or your password is incorrect.

Ive not installed any new sotware/hardware and I know I am using my correct MSN sign in details

Jim, Yes im on B/Band and yes ive tried resetting my cookies

Thanks for the help chaps

 

ok the web page issue sounds like dns issues
which isp are you with ??

the msn on the other hand, double check your username and password (case sensitive)

 

do you have a firewall/router?

could be blocking the https port


however that wouldnt explain messenger coz it drops back to port 80 if it cant connect on its usual one...

could be a security settings issue in IE...

goto IE options and in security set internet to LOW SECURITY then try it n see if it still does the same thing.

what ISP are you using (what company do you get your internet from) and is it 56k or broadband?
