Hi, i just upgraded my RAM from 56 to 184. After I installed it, my computer went way faster...the problem is, i cant access any webpages that ask for a username and password. (example: Hotmail, Neopets etc.) When I click log in, it will go to a page where it says This page cannot be displayed. So i called up a friend and asked him what to do. He told me to erase my history and cookies and restart the computer. So i did, but the problem was still there. After that i thought it was something wrong with internet explorer, i clicked on tools then restored all the options. It still didnt work. Can anyone help me?

Maybe you lost your 128 bit encryption. In IE, click help, about Internet Explorer and see what it says for cipher strength. It should say 128-bit. If it says 0, that's the cause of the problem. If so, try the first reply in this thread:

The person who posted the problem did not post back to say if it worked.

Here is the link to the MS knowledge base article about it:
