when I try to delete the registry entry, it gives an error saying "cannot delete PosReady: Error while deleting key" HELP!

If you had read the thread here you'd know that already and also how to solve it. But you really don't need to remove the POSReady hack. What you need is to follow the help you've already been given.

Yeah you don't need to delete it,  but if you wanted to delete it, you can only delete it, with offline registry modification.  It's advanced, in that I think the average user cannot do this but I don't think it is hard to load a registry hive into another OS like by using winpe boot cd or somthing editing it and unloading it. 

 

you don't need to do this you just need to read the help people already gave you.

UPDATE: OK, so the updates finally loaded, (after 45 minutes that is, I let it keep loading while watching the super bowl) Updates are now installing, after restart Ill let you all know if I can get tls 1.1 and 1.2 to work. And yes I read through and took the advice given to me by everyone, I just was trying to delete it because I wasn't sure if it would cause other problems with my computer. I wouldn't ignore peoples advice, and that advice was super helpful. Thanks everyone! another update soon.

tls 1.1 and 1.2 working! Wikipedia works! The only things is that they don't show up in "advanced"

the biggest issue is that, TLS SNI is missing in XP.

TH.

Can you open the website below?

https://www.inail.it/cs/internet/home.html

Just read all the way through page 1.

And no I cant open that page, it just keeps loading forever.

Some interesting articles people here should read:

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa380124(v=vs.85).aspx

(though SSL2/3 should be disabled due to deprecation/vulnerabilities...)

In addition to ECC & SNI missing in XP, that others have already mentioned in this thread, recent cipher suites used in TLS 1.1+ are also missing... :(

That site uses TLS 1.2, TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA256 (suite unavailable in XP); it does open fine in Vista's IE9 with the addition of TLS 1.2 support; likewise, the following site

https://mpv.srsfckn.biz/

won't open even in IE9 on Vista, because, in addition to TLS 1.2 and SNI (which IE9 on Vista does support), it requires any of the following missing suites:

TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256 (0xcca9)

TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384 (0xc02c)

TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA384 (0xc024)

TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 (0xc02b)

I mean, at least the Advanced Settings tick boxes for TLS 1.1 and 1.2 do appear as advertised.

I don't have XP to test, but have you deleted the "OSVersion" subkeys in

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\AdvancedOptions\CRYPTO\TLS1.1

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\AdvancedOptions\CRYPTO\TLS1.2

?

What would be indeed awesome is for someone to devise a way to add to the system (schannel) missing cipher suites...

Nope, both sub keys are there

And thanks for those articles!

Well, in @dencorso's post here, originally posted by @VistaLover here:

3. After restart, launch the Registry Editor (regedit), preferably as Administrator.

4. Navigate to

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\AdvancedOptions\CRYPTO\TLS1.1

5. Delete the "OSVersion"="3.6.1.0.0" subkey; BTW, I don't know which WinOS that string refers to (Win6.1=Win7)

6. Navigate to

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\AdvancedOptions\CRYPTO\TLS1.2

7. Again, delete the "OSVersion"="3.6.1.0.0" subkey. Exit Registry Editor.

That might, or might not, make them show up in "advanced", possibly after another restart.

No offense, but from reading this entire thread, it seems that you need to read and follow instructions more carefully.

Cheers and Regards

That actually worked! I thought dencorso meant that was for vista only. Sorry! @dencorso   I feel really stupid...

I always thought IE 8 was aesthetically better than other browsers so it seems a good idea to do this :)
