Title: certficate
Post by: rflynn7 on October 30, 2007, 07:52:51 PM

I have a laptop,purchased in Aug.07.The last two days I am having problems getting into my security sites.
The message reads, problem with websites security certificate.Continue not recommended.I have tried everything I know how to renew the certificate.I also restored to a back date,and wiped out the vista program and reinstalled it with no success.
I have never had a problem with window xp renewing certificate.I am not sure I like this new Vista program.
Sure would like some help out there

Confused here. Do you mean Vista program (such as BricoPack) or Vista OS (Operating System) ??

What antispyware programs are installed on your computer ??

So when you visit a certain web site, you receive an error from Internet Explorer, telling you that "there was a problem with this websites certificate, blah blah blah, etc."

Is this correct?

Then I assume there is a problem with the website.

Open the web sites certificate and check the date that it expires.
