Hi all

Could any kind person tell me why I can't access "secure" pages? such as my personal MAIL page on Yahoo? ( and what, if anything I can do about it)

Also, I can't seem to run a system restore. The page opens OK but just remains blank!

I'm running XP home edition.

Thanks,

Azalian  Azalian......  If this is something that has just started ....I would reboot into safe mode and run your virus scanner .
If you have M/S antispyware Beta ....run that program also when in the safe mode .
