Hi,
 firstly I would just like to say that my Cipher Strength
is set to 128bit and my Security settings for Internet is
set to Medium.

 I have a situation where I can't access any httpS sites
and places like Microsoft and Symantec keep telling me
that I have certain settings that prevent them from
running some ActiveX stuff for me. Believe me, my
settings are fine. I have followed meticulously what each
setting should be and it's all ok.

(However, I couldn't find the PCT 1.0 thing in Advanced
settings - I'm sure it used to be there!).

 This all started with a complete failure of NAV 2003 and
now I'll paste information that I have placed on other
thread. This will tell you the vents that led to my
problem...

1. NAV throws up ..."Norton AntiVirus has encountered an
internal program error. Uninstall and re-install Norton
AntiVirus (3002,1530)"... from nowhere (really, I was
just sat there).

2. I go straight into action on the Symantec web site and
quickly realise that I can't access httpS sites. They
don't seem to want anyone emailing or calling them, and
not paying, a lot, for privilege. Evry other page keeps
telling me it can't do Active X on my computer - my
settings are fine - I've looked, several times.

3. So I Windows Messenger my mate - except I can't
because it keeps telling me that I have typed in my
username or password incorrectly - I haven't needed to
type either in for months - it already know it. Anyway,
it makes no difference, even when I DO type them in it
still doesn't know me. The relevent web sites
(like "reset my password", or "I've got a problem") are
all https sites.

4. Ok, I'll put the Symantic popup into a Word document
and send it him by email. Erm, No. I can't access any
word documents either existing or just created.

5. Back to the Norton pop-up. I click OK and
get "Symantic Integrator could not initialise the current
frame class. Please make sure that you did not diectly
run the integrator." - which is REALLY useful. Not.

6. When I uninstall NAV, I can again access my Office
docs. When I reinstall NAV (not very successfully, but
that's another story) I lose access to my Office docs).
They ARE mutually exclusive at the moment.

Does anyone know what's happening to me, please? And will
they tell me without asking for money? You'll make a
friend for life;-)
