You might consider a System Restore

Log on to Windows as Administrator.
Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Accessories, point to System Tools, and then click System Restore. System Restore starts.
On the Welcome to System Restore page, click Restore my computer to an earlier time (if it is not already selected), and then click Next.
On the Select a Restore Point page, click the most recent system checkpoint in the On this list, click a restore point list, and then click Next. A System Restore message may appear that lists configuration changes that System Restore will make. Click OK.
On the Confirm Restore Point Selection page, click Next. System Restore restores the previous Windows XP configuration, and then restarts the computer.

Seems like you have problem with the SSL protocol,
you have a problem to access to secure web site : ( HTTPS )

Goto : Tools ----> Internet Options -----> Advanced

there verify the USE SSL 2.0
                 and USE SSL 3.0  are checked


good luck

Greetings, TedHagstrom!

Check you IE Security settings. With IE open, go to Tools > Options > Security. Make sure the slider is at Medium.

Clean your cache. Delete all temporary internet files and cookies.

There may be programs running in the background interfering with the operation of Internet Explorer. If you have Norton programs running in the background, temporarily turn them off, including anti-virus, win doctor, recycle bin protect, and clean sweep. Does this fix the problem?

Turn off any firewall or ad-blocker.


Best wishes, war1
