Security certificate errors and other log in problems

[Guest Hopeanna]

I had a good post going and hit the wrong button!

 

Okay...I am a medical transcriptionist who works from home. I must use

IE for work. I do have firefox which I love but I cannot do searches on

Firefox for whatever reason. I always get a "missing link" message.

 

I will give you what has happened, what I have done, and try to be

concise about it.

 

When the last Vista/IE updates came out in early April, i downloaded

and installed them. Computer came back on, my mouse wouldn't work, not

even a cursor would show up. After several hours of trying various

things like rebooting in safe mood, I tried to manually roll back my

computer, no easy feat without a mouse, and it didn't help. Gave up and

went to bed.

 

Next morning, turned on my comp and the mouse worked great but my

keyboard wouldn't work, at all. Spent 77 minutes on phone with work

technical support guy and finally reinstalled my keyboard and it

worked.

 

Ever since this install/rollback, I have had issues with EVERY site

that needs an updated security certificate IE says that it is not a

safe site. Again, on EVERY site. To me this says it is my computer and

not the site. I know the work site is up to date, noone else sees this

but me and I assume that E-bay and Pay-pal and all the other secure

sites I visit are also up to date. Again, no one else I've talk to has

had this issue.

 

I can override this and work but its getting annoying.

 

On top of this, I cannot log into Yahoo IM. I can log into the webpage

but not the IM. Says it cannot connect to server.

 

I can log into my MySpace account but it says Im not logged in yet it

says "Hi, Hope" and my page says that I am logged in.

 

My clock on the toolbar has the correct information. I have tried to

figure out how to reset internal clock with no luck. I do not use

McAfree I use CA Security Suite 2007, which is up to date. I ran that

for viruses and spyware and also ran Ad-Aware 2007. Lets see, I also

tried messing with the internet options and that didn't get me

anywhere. I've also played with the CA firewall and again, nada.

 

Oh and, I have tried to install the updates that are on my computer

from microsoft and all I ever get is an error message saying that it

cannot do it. I have 7 updates sitting on my computer all from April 8,

2008.

 

I am really ready for my computer to work right again.

 

Please give me any ideas.

 

I am sorta computer savvy but would appreciate step-by-step

instructions so I can print it out and follow along.

 

I'm the dangerous type of computer runner. I know just enough to

royally screw it up.

 

Thanks and sorry its so long,

Hope

Hi, I had the same problem....drove me nuts!! It turns out the date

on the computer was set as 2003 instead of 2008 which made all

certificates seem expired to my computer. Check the date by clicking

on the time display in the lower right corner of your computer

screen....it might just be that simple! Good luck:)
