I am running IE6 on a 2.4 ghz Compaq tower. A friend re-booted the Pc after a problem. Now it will not connect to any 'https' secure site, preventing me from doing on-line purchasing. It just goes to the 'this page can not be displayed' default page. I have tried re-installing IE6 but i get the same. What should I do?
I am experiecing the same problem with my wifes computer. There was a problem on the computer and when she rebooted the PC she was not able to access any https web sites. If there is anyone out there that can help I would appreciate the answer as well.
There are several possible solutions to this problem. Switching to Firefox, while a good idea, doesn't solve the IE problem, it's just an alternative.
One thing you can try is going to Tools > Internet Options, click the "Advanced" Tab and click the button that says "Restore Defaults". Then, on the "Privacy" tab, set the slider to "Medium", and on the "Security" tab, under "Internet", set that slider to medium as well (in both cases, you might have to click the "Default" or "Default Settngs" button to access the sliders). Finally, on the general tab, click the "Clear History", "Delete Cookies" and the "Delete files" buttons (check the box that says "Delete all offline files" that appears when you click the "Delete Files" button). After this, click OK, then close and reopen IE. If this rather complicated process doesn't work, you might find a solution on Microsoft's Knowledge Base.

Of course, you could still switch to Firefox...
Im gonna try your suggestions but, before I do, doesn't it seem odd that I cannot login to only 1 site? I get on to every other secure site I use, and for a year, got on to this particular site. WOuldn't I see something like this on at least one other secure site?

Yeah, that is a little strange, but it's possible (though rare in my experience) that somehow the error page got associated with the URL of that one site. This remedy might actually be sort of overkill in that case, but hopefully it'll work nonetheless.
