Cannot log into particular https site

Hi,

I have been unable to log into a particular https site that I use for work. As I type in my name and password, I get "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage".

I diagnosed the connections and looked for more information and there is nothing obvious that stands out.

I assumed it was an issue with Windows 7, so I created a Virtual PC to operate Windows XP and I am able to log in.

Any ideas? I would prefer to access this site through my host PC.

Thanks so much for your replies!

Bare Foot Kid,

I have accessed the site on a colleagues computer. I have accessed it via WindowsXP on my Virtual PC. The company hosting the site has assured me that they are 100% compatible with Windows 7 and IE 8.

Thanks!

Ok first thing I would try is placing that https://URLHERE into your trusted sites (IE)

I would then check the advanced options under IE8 to see which version of "SSL/TLS" are checked.

FZ21Z - Thanks for your reply. I know the site is up. =)

BRADY - I added it to my trusted sites. Under Internet Options - Advanced - SSL 2.0 and SSL 3.0 are checked - TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1 and TLS 1.2 are checked.

And now check your xp advanced settings in your Virtual XP machine and compare. I use SSL 3.0 and TSL 1.0 only.

thought I would be proactive and tell you the next part in case the advanced settings didn't fix your issue. Disable your AntiVirus or Firewall and try again.
