IE6 Cipher Strenght Problem
-
I don't know if there's anyone here who can help. I offered to take a look at a friends PC after it he reported having dificulty accessing https pages on the web. I believe I have tracked the problem down (see link bellow) but am now faced with another. Cipher Strength Appears as 0-Bit in Internet Explorer[^] The solution described in the above MS KB describes replacing three DLLs. They are: schannel.dll rsabase.dll rsaenh.dll However, the PC is running ME and only came with a Restore CD and not a Windows ME install CD and the CABS are not on the hard drive. I've tried using Win98 equivelants but this did not work. Does anyone know where I can obtain these replacement DLLs?

A few general suggestions: - Search the PC manufacturer's web site to see of they have the updates. - Contact the PC manufacturer and ask for the complete CD set. Most manufactures will supply this on request. - See if there are any MS service packs for ME that fixes the problem. - Buy a "gray market" copy of Windows ME at a PC show or swap meet. It cannot be more than $20.

Of course, if this is OEM restore disk/crap thingy there's no telling what's on there. They're not in the same directory that Win95 OEMs used to put them in however (C:\WINDOWS\Options\Cabs). I can't think of the dir off the top of my head, but did you search for *.cab in C:\WINDOWS yet? Jeremy Falcon

(hehehe, and people say Linux is unsupported) You can try using the restore CD on a Virtual PC or VMWare machine. If you have MSDN Universal, download ME from it. You can try using a friend's CD. You can try using a P2P network (argh! I didn't say that!). Perl combines all the worst aspects of C and Lisp: a billion different sublanguages in one monolithic executable.

Also, what if you just install the service pack update for IE6? Jeremy Falcon

Jeremy Falcon wrote: You sure? The retail version of Windows Me installs them by default Yeah but he's had the PC a couple of years and now he's let his kids start using it, maybe someone didn't think they were important and deleted them, i've searched the HD for any cabs WIN_X.CAB and there's none to be found. Jeremy Falcon wrote: what if you just install the service pack update for IE6? Done that, even tried a repair on IE but made no difference. But I think i'll take a look at the restore CD in more detail. It may even be an ISO image. I think I had an ISO image editor... I think this needs more investigaton on my part Daniel Turini wrote: You can try using a friend's CD. You can try using a P2P network (argh! I didn't say that I may know someone who once had Windows ME, I've already email'd them and am waiting a reply. Everyone, Thanks for your thoughts I think thats enough to investigate.
