I am running Windows XP Professional SP2, IE 6 SP2 with all available OS
and
Office updates and I get the following text when trying to access secure
sites:

*****
No Shared Cipher

Your browser is unable to negotiate a security level which satisfies the
requirements of this site. For security reasons, this Web site may require
strong encryption. To gain access to this site, you may try any or all of
the
following:

of encryption (the cipher suites supported by this site are listed above).
2) Update your browser to a version that supports the appropriate level of
encryption.
3) Apply the "strong-encryption" option pack to your operating system.
4) If in the United States, verify that you are using a recent domestic
version of your browser.
5) Contact this site's administrator for assistance.

Now, I do IE Help->About and Cipher strength and 128bit. I have tried to
re-apply XP SP2 with no luck. I have found just about nothing on the
Internet regarding this problem other than people saying you don't have
128bit encryption when I do.

Any suggestions...any place to manually manipulate the available ciphers
IE
users...anything?!?!?!?

Thanks,

Mark
