Hi you all,
My machine is a Win2K PRO box and I can't access any HTTPS Web site (secure
SSL) any more.
The problem is the same with a browser different of Internet Explorer (e.g.
Netscape Navigator), and if I open a session under another user account,
it's not better either.
My guess is that there is something wrong with 128 bit encryption or
cryptography, and it maybe a Win2K OS related issue.
Any idea?
Nicolas
