Cannot view pages that follow a password login

Hi, new here, so please be gentle!

I have just got a new Sony Vaio laptop for work, but if try to log in to a webpage which follows a login on a secure channel, I get the 'Page cannot be displayed' message. This happens on things such as hotmail, Amazon, my bank etc. I replied to an email, and got one of them "click this link, and fill out the form to prove you aren't spam," and even that link cannot be displayed.

I have enabled popups, lowered security settings, and have now run out of ideas :(

If anyone can help, I would really appreciate it.

Hi Danni1 and welcome to TSG
Have you tried enabling your java script?
In IE, go to Tools>Advanced and see if java has been enabled.

Thanks. I cannot find an option that says enable/disable Java. THere is one line that says " Use Java 2 v1.4.2_05 for ". I have checked and unchecked this, and so far, no luck.

Am I doing it right?

Thanks a lot!

PS Using XP Home, SP2, IE 6
Yeah...ummm..do you know how your security settings are set? I noticed a thread similar to yours earlier. It describes how to do this. Here's the link to it.

Those sites probably require a certain encrytion level for browsers accessing their sites so SSL will work. What browser are you using and what encryption level?

Hi,

I am using IE6 with a 128bit encryption. I have moved security settings from default to none, and still no luck!

It's a new system, and it's not a spyware issue. I would run a MS update, but it locks me out of that site too :(
