How do i access a secured website?
I am a member of WellsFargo bank, and i think my computer has a certain setting that is preventing me from accessing the online banking website. It tells me "Could not find wellsfargo.com" other websites work fine, so i know it's not my internet connection. I contacted wellsfargo, and they tried to help me...but they told me to contact Microsoft and ask for help as to how to access a secured website. So can anyone guide me through my computer settings to figure out how to access my online banking?

If you cannot access a secured Web sites in Internet Explorer 9, please try following steps to fix this problem. Method 1: Enable Compatibility View to view a secure Web site in Internet Explorer 9 The Web site may not be fully compatible with Internet Explorer 8 and may not be displayed correctly. You can enable Compatibility View for the Web site to see whether that resolves the problem. To enable Compatibility View, click Tools menu, then select Compatibility View Settings, type “wellsfargo.com” in the text box and click Add. If you use IE 8, just click the Compatibility button in the top-right corner of the window. Method 2: Verify that the date and time settings on your computer are correct To verify that your computer is configured with the correct date and time settings, follow these steps: 1. Click Start, and then click Control Panel. 2. Click Date, Time, Language, and Regional Options, and then click Date and Time. 3. Click the Date & Time tab. 4. Make sure that the date and time settings are configured to use the current date and time, and then click OK. Method 3: Clear the SSL state Clear the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) state.
