Gerowen Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 This happened to me for a while on my DoD websites. What you need to do is install the certificate offered by that web page. However though I never had an issue with Windows Live Mail or something. You may want to go to your security settings and add those websites as trusted websites, and just generally explore how you've got your browser set up. Press alt, tools, internet options, security. Then highlight trusted sites and click the button that says "sites". Just type in the url to the site you want to allow and add a "/*" to the end of the address to allow similar security for any subfolders and subfiles of the site. Here a screenshot example of what I would put in to allow for example the Army website. Screenshot Here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

night_stalker_z Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 Check on Windows Update and see if there is an optional update called Root Certificate Update. This should stop those errors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
