Hi Richard :-)

Sorry that the information did not helpl, but, I am afraid that there are no
simple answers when it comes to SP2, and especially those regarding
Javascript. It also seems that what works for some will not work for
others.

You might also try the following and see if anything will help:

Have you deleted your temporary internet files since this problem
started - if not, do it now

 Zone Alarm Pro [Private Header Info - enabled?] Reset "Ad Blocking"
and "Cookie Control" to "medium" "Mobile Code Control" = Off

Any "ad blocking" software that blocks "http_referer" or contains
entries that are blocking access to the desired site.

 HOSTS file that contains entries that are blocking access to the
desired site.

 Cookie blocking software that are blocking "required" Cookies.

 Pop-up blockers that are stripping header\url info.

 WebWasher Standard Filter/URL Filter

Sometimes a damaged index.dat file can cause this - this procedure will
delete the index.dat file which can't be deleted from windows - when you
reboot windows creates a new clean one.

Check the date and time on your computer ...if it's wrong, cookies will
not be accepted and you will not be able to log in to some sites.

IE | Help | About IE | Will show the encryption level/Cypher strength.

If these steps do not resolve your problem, please post back to this thread
with the details and any error messages.

Hope this helps
