OT - I.E. Security question

Just reinstalled I.E. 5.5 on my desktop, and installed on top of it SP2 (service package 2) and an update to a security flaw in SP2. However, when I go to help, then "about internet explorer" under Cipher Strength it says : 0-bit, instead of the usual 128-bit. Anyone know how to correct this?

 

It's supposed to be 128-bit. However, when I installed the SP2, something went wrong. According to the info Dave provided me with ( thanks dave! ) it has something to do with that new patch. So... I've got to go through a whole routine to restore 128-bit protection. In the meantime I've downloaded Netscape 6.2 as a backup ( actually what I'm using now ) I have still yet to find where I can download IE 5.5. I can't download 6.0 because this particular desktop is running Win 95, and 6.0 requires Win 98 or newer.

 

Thanks Breeze, I had been to that link before and after I downloaded the high encryption package it says it only works with I.E. 5.01 with SP6 or Win NT. Ugh.... and Netscape for some reason beyond my comprehesion, is requiring more RAM than I.E. is for the same tasks, and this computer only has 32 megs of RAM. If anyone knows where microsoft hides a downloadable version of I.E. 5.5 on their site, please post the link.

 

Thank you Breeze! I think this should do it. I've alredy uninstalled Netscape. It took 2 to 3 times longer to load the same info, plus it slowed down non-internet related programs.

 

Thanks Breeze, I'll give that one a try as well. I've never had any problems with I.E.'s speed, in fact before today I've had no problems whatsoever. Of course I had to screw that up by downloading the service package 2 update.

 

I have a power pc mac, and a regular mac, but I don't know much about using them. I just use the power pc for playing cd's.


BTW, I still haven't straightened this mess out. Now I can't even uninstall I.E. ( I got a free AOL cd with I.E. on it )
