Fw: OT - Lost access to secure (HTTPS) sites on Win98 OS

["John Posada" <writer -at- tdandw -dot- com>]

Hi, Karen...try this:

You don't say what browser you use, but it could be that
your browser's Internet Options Security is blocking them. I
had this problem with my banking web page and some elements
of other pages that I knew to trust.

Try adding your work site as a trusted site.

 Tools -> Internet Options -> Security tab-> Trusted
Sites ->
Sites button, then add the url to the list. There is a
"Require Server Verification" check box. I unchecked mine.

 It worked for me. Keep in mind I categorize very few sites
 as trusted.
