IE 6 can't connect to https://

By dlwicks ·
I have been able to connect to whatever site I've attempted since I have had this Dell running XP Pro using IE as my browser. Last week I tried to connect to my bank account. I get to the "Home Page". when I try to log on to MY ACCOUNT I get "Page can not be displayed". I have set all 'Internet options' to default. I've tried a number of secure sites. Any https://www.anysite.com address returns the "Page can not be displayed" error page.

Any ideas thoughts similar trouble or creative BS would be appreciated.

Check the security options of IE under tools|internet options|advanced

and make sure box for
SSL 2.0
SSL 3.0

are checked.

Another option, are you using a proxy?
If so, could be your proxy doesnt speak SSL.

Hi,
Theres a known bug in IE6 with SSL. It's covered in the technet article at

Basically you need to apply the latest IE6 service pack.

The service pack starts the installation but it stops with a message that it can not get to the internet site that contains the 12 meg main Download. (I think it is at a secure site).
Thank you other thoughts?
