Certain secure webpages will not open

Question

I am using IE 6.0. When I go to my usual secure websites like internet banking, I have no problems. But when I go to a couple of particular websites to pay bills etc, the I get a generic error page. I have checked my internet security options (go to tool, internet options, advanced, scroll to security) and SSL 2.0, SSL 3.0, and TLS 1.0 is checked. I have tried unchecking some of these, contacted the websites I have problems with. I have reset brower to default, cleared history, cookies, etc. Don't know what else to try. If it helps, I did get a message at one of the websites saying something about 'no common chiper' or something.  Please help..

I had a similar problem a few weeks back.  I can't remember what exactly it was that I did to fix it.  I have had serveral big problems, so I would just suggest checking your java and active x settings.  I would also try unchecking  SSL 2.0, SSL 3.0, and TLS 1.0.  I know I tried that but I can't remeber if that solved the problem.  I do know that AOL 9.0SE was causing me a lot of problems when trying to use internet explore.  One thing you might want to check if you have aol, is when you get onto the signon screen, is parental controls on off.  for some reason mine said they were off and when i signed onto aol and went into parental controls they were on causing me to not be able to see some sites on the internet.  The Aol rep who took me through this whole proceedure  didn't know why that happened but it work.  hope this helps
