Sorry for the delay in response. Been sort of busy here post tax season.

The secure and non-secure error goes away, but the top frame of the page
still comes up with the "page cannot be displayed" message. Nothing else
occurs, just the "cannot be displayed" message. Really, the popup is not the
issue. The reason that appears is because both frames of the page are secure
and the "cannot be displayed" message is a non-secure page taking the place
of a secure page. The real issue is the "page cannot be displayed" message.

Not sure how going into Offline would be accomplished since you can only
click on the box and not the file menu in IE. Is there another way to do
this?

I have it set to every visit to the page. I've also set IE to clear cache
when closing out.

As far as the traces, this would be the winhttptracecfg? I downloaded it,
but it appears that it needs IIS to perform? Although I may not be looking
at the correct KB doc, but if it is correct, I'm fairly sure that IIS doesn't
run on XP Home. Is there another way to do this? Also, did you want me to
run netstat again? Just wanting to know exactly what you would like done to
help solve this problem. Thanks again.
