Sorry bout my reply, was very frustrated. BTW, I've fixed
computer problems for friends and family who work for MS,
which MS reps couldn't fix, and run slackware and Debian
on the machines I use the most at home.
Here's what I ended up doing today, after sleeping off my
frustration.
Cipher strength was "0", not good, and attempting to fix
it via Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 261328 failed due
to some other problem, so I resorted to uninstalling
IE6SP1, then re-installing it using the "Ie" folder on a
MSN 8 disk. This fixed the ciper strength (now 128) but
still wasn't able to access https sites and still got
error 0x800C0005 at Windows Update site.
Tried setting all security and privacy settings to
low/minimum, still no work.
Gave up, installed Mozilla, couldn't even access the
internet with it, but could ping mozilla.org successfully
from a command prompt. (big clue)
Found that Norton Internet Security was installed, but
damaged and wouldn't load.
Downloaded 30 day trial of RegSupreme from maceware, of
jv16powertools fame.
Edited scanreg.ini, change MaxBackupCopies to 15, save and
close.
Backed up registry with scanregw.
Renamed all Symantec and Norton folders and subfolders in
Program Files and Windows directories.
Ran RegSupreme; since it couldn't locate the files that
all the Symantec and Norton entries in the registry
pointed to, they came up as invalid entries; deleted them,
saying yes to backup before delete. (BTW, this is more
effective way to uninstall Symantec or Norton than built-
in uninstaller anyway)
Reboot, try connecting with Mozilla, success.
Open IE, go to any https site, success.
Go to Windows Update, click Scan for updates, success.
Apparently part of Norton Internet Security includes
script blocker, which works better than it should, even if
the program is broken.
Installing ZoneAlarm next.
Thanks for all your wonderful advice and help.
