Why Can't I Access Certain Websites With Vista?

By: George Christodoulou

One of the visitors to this site left a comment the other day
stating that he had problems visiting certain sites. I noticed
this problem has occurred to others on my daily forum and
research routines. Some users are unable to reach vital websites
that are important to work and school. According to a variety of
sources, the problem could be because the type of sites being
accessed are secure (SSL - Secure Sockets Layer ) sites. For
individuals with this access problem, I did a little research
and found a few answers.

Basically, from what I have read, this inability to access
certain websites stems from the security measures that Vista
comes with. All it takes is a little tweak of a few options and
the problem should be solved. The following is one step by step
solution to this problem: 1. Go to "tools" in the Internet
explorer or firefox. (I don't think it matters) 2. Go to the sub
category "Internet options" (This is only in Internet explorer -
for firefox, you must go to "options" at the bottom.) 3. Now, go
to advanced (IE) and uncheck, "use TLS 1.0″ ( For firefox,
you don't have to go to "advanced, you can see the box there.)

This is the basic rundown of what must be done. If you have this
problem, there is a chance the above steps may not help you with
your problem. That's okay because you may have a very similar
problem in which the sites you are viewing are set to only allow
SSLv3 enabled explorers. The steps to solve this problem are the
same as the above except this time you check the SSLv2 box.

Similarly, if a site you visit frequently is not displaying
anymore, it may be because the site has not updated the
configurations yet and has not changed from SSlv3. When
Microsoft updated Internet Explorer to version 7, they changed
the settings from SSlv2 to 3 in an act to make surfing the web
safer. All you need to know is how you can change the settings
on your explorer. I hope, your problems are solved.

If you have any personal problem that is related or not...
please feel free to leave the comment. If you surf through the
site, you will see that I try to answer everyones questions with
well researched and experienced answers.
