There are 2 sites that I visit everyday. All of a sudden, for the past 3 days, neither will will come up in my browser (IE) for me. I've cleared temp internet files, cookies, lowered security settings and everything else I can think of. Shut down, powered off, rinse, repeat...still nothing. I know for a fact both of these sites are up, because I've had others check. Every other site works, just not these 2. Its like my computer has these pages cached, and won't let go. Any ideas?? --Tina

I had the same problem about a month ago shortly after upgrading to IE6. Did everything you have done and finally uninstalled IE6 and tried to go back to IE5.5-still no luck plus the fact that IE6 didn't want to uninstall through Add/Remove. Since I hadn't done a reformat and clean install of W98SE in about 2 years, I bit the bullet and did it. Needless to say the problem of the 4-5 unreachable sites was fixed and I only installed back up to IE5.5. Has been OK since so don't know the specific cause unless W98 and IE6 developed a conflict.
Start Internet Explorer, click on help, click on About Internet Explorer. Scroll down in the little window and see what encryption level you're using. It should be at least 128-bit encryption. If it's less than 128-bit, then you've more than likely found your problem. Update your encryption level. If it's already 128-bit then it's something else.
