Can't access Secure websites

Xtreme

OK were getting somewhere now , it means that its not IE that is blocking you trying to to https sites it a firewall/router issue now whether thats a software fw or a a hardware router issue .well have to see

have you got any other pc's u can use to test https access through or even dial up can u test dial up ... the reason i suggest this is to narrow the scope pf teh fault down more , ie, is it your laptop or is it your fw/router ?

hmm ..also what about booting up in safe mode with networking support ? this will basically load a minimum of drivers & allow you to test without any restirctions....

let me know if you need assistane getting this done

Ok Thanks again.


Have not got any other pc's etc to test out with but have now tried connecting via phone line and dial up.

Still have the same issues so it has got to be on the laptop.

MIght need assistance with booting up in safe mode etc.

Restart PC and keep tapping F8 on start up.... well should be F8

ok

Have now tried safe mode with networking and yes I can connect to secure sites.

Not sure what this means though.

basically means that either your software firewall or spyware/malware is blocking you from accesssing https sites ... i would try disabling any firewall first ..and then try step by step checking for spyware ..do you get any pop up internet pages or weid toolbars ?

It means it's not the hardware firewall in your wireless router that's blocking you.

So it's something in the software networke connection settings in your laptop that isn't running in Safe mode.

Got it.

Don't ask me what but after trying out the safe mode and then starting again disabling everything (for the millionth time) and reenabling again somewhere along the line it started to work.

I have now got secure sites coming up, have access to my home network again and MSN messanger is now connecting again after a little more fixing.

Massive thanks to all on here for their help no doubt the combination of all the work did it.

Now I have done various scans of different types and have McAfee Personal Firewall, AVG 7 antivirus, and Spyware Doctor running.

If there is anything else I should put on to protect my system then I would be happy to find out.

Now I need to catch up on about a weeks beauty sleep. Boy I need it. LOL

Thanks all:A :T :beer:
