Installed IE8 & SP3 on XP now I can't HTTPS from any browser
- by Kevin
The computer is Windows XP Professional SP3 with IE8.
On the Tools Options Connections the "Settings" is GRAYED OUT (I am an admin on the machine)
Any browsing of https:// addresses results in IE displaying the following:
"this program cannot display the web page"
After installing an alternate browser and trying the same https:// address I get a similar error message.
I have tried using Compatibility View Settings to for all web pages and this has no effect on the problem.
HTTP addresses work fine, I can PING sites such as google.com without issue.
Question: What could be preventing me from getting at the settings to check to see if I'm using a proxy? What else could be preventing HTTPS access?
