Hi All,

I'm not sure what I did, and I've been trying everything to fix it without
screwing up things more, but when I am on a web page that begins with https,
most links will not work. Although some do seem to work OK, and also if I
copy the link address by right clicking and getting the address from the
properties and paste the link into the address bar.
I usually get an error message in the bottom left of the screen saying
"error on page" or the little caution flag or something like that. I guess
I might have messed up the security settings, but I need help on this one.
Has this happened to anyone else ?

Thanks, Brian.

Make sure your firewall is not blocking port 443. See also

Still can't quite figure this out, but maybe this clue will help. While on
an https page, I can link to another https page, but not to an http page.
So far I've disabled my firewall, and reset all my IE security back to the
default. No luck yet ...
This is obviously a limit to certain activities on the internet, so if
anyone has any ideas, I'd appreciate any and all feedback.
Thanks :)
