WinXP - Secure pages cant be displayed..

[bloodline76]

On my wives computer I am unable to access secure pages for some reason. She has full admin rights but i cant manage to find something that would restrict access.

She does use it for work and i was thinking that their IT has restricted it with a policy or something. Any ideas?

I have restored all the internet settings to default but still no joy.

Thanks

It is possible that it's restricted... but, unlikely...

Some of the things I would check would be:

cipher strength - should be 128 bit encryption - if not, download the IE high encryption pack

Make sure that in internet settings, advanced, TLS and SSL (both versions) are checked.

From command prompt:

regsvr32 softpub.dll /s
regsvr32 urlmon.dll /s

...and whilst we're at it, might as well re-register the rest of the important IE libraries...

regsvr32 mshtml.dll /s
regsvr32 actxprxy.dll /s
regsvr32 oleaut32.dll /s
regsvr32 shell32.dll /s
regsvr32 shdocvm.dll /s

if that still doesn't work, try

sfc /scannow

- but you'll need the install cd (and maybe re-register those files again?)
