I am new at administering my home computers. I run WinXP on PC and Win2000 on Laptop. I have AOL DSL and use a LinkSys Wireless 4port Hub/Router. I, for the life of me cannot figure out how to configure my computers to enable me to load secure pages on websites. What setting either in Administration Tools or Explorer needs to be changed. Would appreciate help.

Are you using IE5 or IE6? IE6 changes the security settings for cookies which may be preventing you from viewing secured sites that require cookies. Check out these links on the MS site.

Remove any spaces from the above URLs in order for them to work.
Good luck!

Most probably your confidentiality/security level has been set too high. Go into tools, then in internet options, then in confidentiality or security and change the arrow to low or medium level. I think that will solve it. You have to reboot of course.
Good luck
