Greetings Angelle,
The first step here is to determine if secure sites are working in your browser at all. To
test this, head over to
https://www.amazon.com. If Amazon comes up, then the problem
probably isn't in the browser.
If Amazon doesn't come up, then either secure sites are blocked or SSL is broken in your
browser. To determine the latter, you can use another browser, like Chrome
[
http://google.com/chrome] and attempt to access Windows Live or Amazon there.
Once you've figured out better what the problem is, then we can go about trying to actually
fix it.
