Have you had a crash recently that required a hard reset to restart your computer? If so you may need to reset the date and time. The security system ?sees? your computer date as too far away from real time and won?t let you on their websites. I have had occasion to blame IE for various browsing problems but ultimately found the date and time incorrect on my own machine.
Hope this helps. Frank On 10/11/04 4:12 PM, "Robert M.
