Not authorized to view some secure web sites

[WNelson28]

Not sure if anybody can help on this but here goes...I have upgraded two PC's from ie5 to ie6 and since doing so cannot access some secure web sites, I get the You are not authorized to view this page, blah, blah.....

I did find a q article about this the last time I done it, but being the bright spark I am, can't find it! It did mention something to do with having to unregister wininet.dll (i think) and re-installing the software, does anybody know of this article? I have done all the usual, set privacy to low and set security to low and get the same result, no proxy server in the way and it still does it if you remove ie6 and go back to version 5......

Help.....

may be out in left field but what is your encryption level on ie 6? open ie 6, click on help, click on about. It should be at 128 bit. if it's at 64, update ie6 from microsoft's update site.

good luck

I don't have IE6 , but I think you can set it on medium security & then in your options set it to receive cookies for certain sites .

Here is another way .

Dear Fred: Let me tell you of a simple way I have come up with for managing cookies.

It may not work for everyone, but it works for me.

In the Internet Options (Security tab), I set both the Internet zone and the Trusted Sites zone to Medium security.

Then, in the Internet zone, I disallow cookies that are stored on the computer, while allowing session cookies.

In the Trusted Sites zone, I allow both.

Whenever I run into a site which needs to store a cookie ( like eBay, Amazon, cable TV listings, etc.) I add that site to the Trusted Sites zone.

At the end of the day, I have on the drive those cookies which I need to keep, and all others are history.

To make this even easier, I use a small application called Trust Setter, which puts two buttons in the IE toolbar, Add to Trusted Sites, and Add to Restricted Sites. Get it from >
