Good lord in heaven,
I didn't even tell you guys what's the problem!

I can't log on to any secure sites. Ebay, my bank, Yahoo, payment sites, etc.

Unfortunately, moral support only here.

I recall from your posts that your brother is a handy fellow, how about asking him? :)

Sorry doll, I think it's a cookie or browser security setting somewhere...

Figure out if you've got Zone Alarm installed and uninstall it and throw it over your left shoulder...
I made the mistake of installing it a couple of years ago and it locked me out of my favorites sites!
I could still access all the trash sites...

If it takes a dozen rocket scientists to configure it ain't worth having.

What happens when you try to connect to a secure site? Sounds like you need to download a new version of SSL that it got corrupted somehow(?)

The one next door?!?! Jethro, my beloved Grumpy Batchelor Brother?!?!

If he can't nail something to it, dig it up, tear it down or set it on fire, he ain't interested.

That's what I've been told.
But it's a cookie I haven't found yet :)

I just ran regedit and I don't see Zone alarm. I see a few Zone named things, but nothing with alarm added.

Thanks though!

How about this?

To be honest, for your own good I would contact HP and get a new install disk. They may be free if the machine is not that old. You will need it. If not now, sometime. Do you have the XP firewall on? Personally, I do not like Norton and have a hunch that is the root cause.

Dont think you needed to do all that.

if you are using ie, set your internet options privacy settings to default for each one.

stop running regedit.

if you cant get to those sites by changing (undoing) the changes you made then sun sys restore to as far back as possible.

and stop playing with regedit.
