cannot access https:// pages

[Guest]

I have a WinXP Home PC, w/ SP1, running IE 6 SP1. All works great, except
when I try to go to https:// pages. All I get is "Page cannot be found"
errors. An example is trying to log into hotmail. Can't do it. I've
checked for viruses/spyware, checked firewall settings, checked encryption
and security settings, but no help. Any ideas? I would be grateful. Thanks!

Have you type correctly? If you type a Web site in the Address Bar https://
is not correctly found on the net the correct heading is "http://" not
"https://", if you type a link for example "https://www.microsoft.com/" the
server cannot find "https://www.microsoft.com/".
