Sorry to hear you are still locked out. I do not have the problem but was curious if it had been fixed. This problem is still all related to encrypted sites and possibly norton personal firewall, correct? You also had installed and attempted to uninstall some type of download accelerator program (or was it a web accelerator). You are also unable to uninstall IE 6.0 (because it is part of the system- not sure I understand that part) Can you install 5.5 ? This computer is using XP and is on a network. The other computers are able to enter encrypted sites. I installed 6.0 but had to take it back off after a week but can not remember why.<G> Didn't some 128 bit encrypted sites initially have a problem with IE 6.0? I seem to recall a few bank sites having an issue. This sound familar. pointman.org

It's a crucial capability, the companies contend, because Microsoft's new IE (Internet Explorer) 6.0 browser includes technology that could steer consumers away from e-commerce sites that are either non compliant with P3P or are without other adequate privacy protections. P3P lets Web sites crank out machine-readable versions of data collection and sharing practices, and was designed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) to increase consumer confidence in the Web. The standard is supposed to eliminate the need for shoppers to separately peruse each privacy policy posted on the sites they visit. Under its default settings, IE 6.0 will automatically block many cookies routinely placed on visiting browsers, unless a site has acceptable privacy provisions in place and those provisions are spelled out in the P3P format, said Michael Wallent, product unit manager in Windows Client Group for Redmond, Wash.-based Microsoft. infoworld.com jedislayers.net blionline.com www2.widener.edu leotardlady.safeshopper.com
