Hi all,

I deleted a couple of files on my hard disk and since then I cannot access

secure web pages and msn messenger anymore (So I guess I deleted an

important file...) . As I try to enter a https site the browser now

displays "page cannot be displayed", and messenger won't sign in anymore, so

it seems to be a SSL problem.

I looked on the microsoft support site but there isn't any solution for this

problem for WindowsXPpro/IE6. I tried to reinstall IE6, but that didn't

worked either. I received the following error: "setup was unable to download

information about available installation sites".

Can anybody help me out of this problem

Thanks in advance,

Dennis

Now don't you think that post is a bit incomplete. anyways...

Do you have Norton Anti-Virus or Norton Internet Security?

Does it happen to every secure site you try to visit or just some particular websites?

What kind of files did you delete?

Do you have system restore switched on at your system? If yes did you try to go back to a particular working restore point?

I found this article to help you out. JSI tip

Hope all this helps.

As a last resource, a lot of ISP's CDs have Internet Explorer on them. They give you a version that doesn't need an internet connection to install. It sounds like you tried re-installing a version that needed a connection the 'net while installing.
