Apparently on it's own, my XP version of Internet Explorer 6.0 changed it's cipher strength from 128 bit to 0 bit. I called the help lines for both HP and Microsoft and neither had a clue what to do to fix it. Any ideas?

Start the operating system from the CD-ROM, run Setup, and then choose to repair the previous installation. (skip the "Recovery Console" and "ASR" prompts) This feature detects the old install when you start setup of the same version,and offers the "Repair" ("Press '1' for...." on the second screen, after pressing ENTER for setup )

Summary: Cipher strength refers to the encryption used for secure sites. 128-bit is the cipher strengh you should have. Without it you cannot access secure sites/pages like for banking, online ordering etc. ...
Summary: It sounds like it would be the 128-bit cipher strength missing that would cause that problem. But you said you checked that. Try this just in case - in IE, click tools, internet options, advanced. ...
