Https problems in IE, Chrome, Skype, but not Firefox

I have a user whose account on a win2003 domain was deleted by accident (I have no idea how). I recreated the account and recovered the user profile from a local machine. The local machines all run Win7.
Everything seems to work fine again now except that https calls through Internet Explorer and Chrome fail with error messages that seem to indicate the site is simply not available rather than a certificate error or the like. Firefox works fine to access
the same sites. I believe Firefox only works because it doesn`t use the built in security.
Other accounts on the same machine can make https calls without trouble. My assumption is that there is an issue in the user's profile, but moving the Chrome and IE directories from the AppData directory in the user's profile accomplished no change in behaviour.
I found KB 813444 and attempted to follow the instructions there to some extent (they seem aimed at XP and Vista), but couldn't re-register the dlls. None of the other changes made any difference. Likely not the problem anyway as the problem does not occur
for any other account that logs into the machine.
There really seems to be something wrong in the user profile. Permissions too loose on a directory somewhere? But where?
The system is a brand new HP tower with Windows 7 on it. Fresh install about a month ago and kept up to date. All other profiles on the machine work fine. Using the same profile on another machine has the same problem of being unable to connect to https
sites. The error received is not a certificate error, but indicates that the site can't be found, which suggests to me some fundamental failure in the security setup of the user profile. However, I've been unable to find where that information might be stored.
Clearing the SSL state from within Internet options has had no effect on this issue, nor has compatibility mode or any of the things that are possible on Windows 7 from kb813444.
Any thoughts?
Keith

Hello Keith,
If my understanding is right, you only have one account have this https problem.
Will this issue occurs when you create an login as a new account?
If this issue only occur in the single account, we could refer to the following article to fix the profile.

Problem with .sitx files (Safari but not Firefox???)

Hi All,
I have a website online (with help from iWeb and BBEdit) but am having a problem I cant figure out (this IS my first website!)
I am hoping that someone much more knowledgeable than me can help me with it.
I basically have a download section. Icons and desktops.
Now, when I (or anyone else) tries to download- everything seems to be fine in FireFox (even IE!) but not in Safari.
My desktops are compressed as .zip files. No problems there, everyone can download and open (including Safari users!)
My icons are compressed as .sitx files. This is where the problems come in. Firefox and IE download them no problem ('save to disk?' etc) However when one attempts to download the icons (.sitx files) with Safari it simply displays pages of gibberish (starting with the word 'Stuffit') which I am presuming is Safari trying to 'display' the contents of the actual stuffit file.
Why is this? Why wont safari simply download the .sitx files as it does .zip files?
Does Safari have some sort of inherent problem with .sitx files? Is it some sort of configuration within Safari preferences? or (and probably most likely!) is it something I have done wrong?
Oh, my website (page in question!) can be found here:
http://aoimedia.co.uk/news/news.html
Thanks in advance for all your valuable help
Kind regards

Hi,
It sounds like the server the website/file is hosted on is not identifying the type correctly. As you've seen, different browsers will handle this situation differently.
Have a read of this article:

Hope that helps.

Help..Flash Videos work for Chrome/IE but NOT Firefox

So I cannot see some flash videos on Firefox (like sites CNet & Disney do not work) which use flash. It does work on Chrome & IE.
1. ALL Programs are the newest/latest versions.
2. I removed and downloaded all programs- restarted the computer after each download.
3. I have the latest Flash (according to the website) when I view the Adobe Flash Website on Firefox.
I don't know why some flash videos work...and some do not.
I am running Vista. All my programs are legit...and I do have McAfee running..I don't download porn, no viruses etc.. Anyone have advice?!!

ok ok
I disabled firewall which - for some weird reason- allow it to play in Firefox. Videos played in IE & Chrome- but not in Firefox, until I disabled Firewall..weird.

Use Skype, but not torrents

Hi.
I am looking for a way to allow the users in my company to use skype, but not to be able to use torrents. We are using Skype to communicate, but the torrents are making a lot of traffic.
I was thinking to use Squid proxy. I can disallow the users to download *.torrent files, but I do not like that way of dealing with the problem. Do you have the same problem at your companies and how did you manage to solve it.
Regards.

There are two projects, l7-filter and ipp2p, which allow you to match p2p traffic and drop it using iptables. Both need kernel patching, though (edit: actually, ipp2p apparently doesn't).

You need to make the text box float left.

I'm still experiencing this problem. I went to settings, general, software and it says Install now. But when I try, I get an error message.

Just bought an iPhone 5C.. Safari is non-functional! A blank frozen screen! Any one else experience this? Horrid design Apple! It's your freaking web browser! Google Chrome works but not Safari! I may simply return this "upgrade" unless someone can help

Just bought an iPhone 5C.. Safari is non-functional! A blank frozen screen... What gives? Safari is Apple's browser for gods sakes! Google Chrom works but not Safari? This is nuts. This is an "upgrade"?? Anyone else experiencing this? Or should I just give up and return this

Are you always like this?
First try a Reset: Hold down the home and sleep buttons, wait for the Apple logo, let go of the buttons.

Medical app from Intuit works in IE, but not Firefox.

Encrypted medical app works in new IE, but not Firefox. Everything works down to the end, and click on "continue" and nothing happens. A tech and I have spent hours on this. Did not work on FF5 or 6. Did not work on old IE, but did on fresh new version with no data files copied in.

If it works in IE but not FF, then it has nothing to do with the mp3s. More likely it's because of the HTML on the page.
To start, page is missing DOCTYPE declaration... a MAJOR problem. The DOCTYPE declares which set of rules the browser will use to display the page. Without it, different browsers go crazy or do not work at all.

Validate the html code here:

You will have to fix all the errors if you want this to work in all browsers.

Dreamweaver text looks fine in Safari but not Firefox NEED HELP!!!

Dreamweaver text looks fine in Safari but not Firefox, all my text goes out of alignment and the fonts look like different sizes. Please let me know your thoughts. Here is a link to the page I'm having problems with. http://www.alexandrasantibanez.com/bio.html

I had the same problem for days what a waste of time trying
to figure out code... the code was fine. I was running flash player
7.0 Upgrade your flash plugin to 9.0 and it should work fine in
Firefox and IE. It did for me.

My website works in IE but not firefox

this is my web page:
http://www.andrew-leonard.co.uk/Mallorca/mallorca%20ferns.htm
It usess css to define layers and javascript to show and hide the layers. It uses a dhtml menu system by Milonic to execute the javascript
This is part of the code for the layers:
<pre><nowiki><style type="text/css">
#Layer01 {position: absolute; left: 300px; top: 50px; z-index:1;}
#Layer33 {position: absolute; left: 300px; top: 50px; z-index:33;}
</style></nowiki></pre>
This is part of the javascript to show/hide the layers:
<pre><nowiki><script>
function showlayer(layer){
var myLayer = document.getElementById(layer).style.display;
if(myLayer=="none"){
document.getElementById(layer).style.display="block";
} else {
document.getElementById(layer).style.display="none";
</script></nowiki></pre>
It works OK in IE but not firefox

If you check Firefox's Web Console (Ctrl+Shift+K) it'll tell you any errors it's finding and the line of code it's finding it on.
The problem it seems to be having up front is that IDs are case-sensitive - "layer02" is not the same as "Layer02", for example.
There may be further errors once it's past that, but all the current browsers come with the tools you need to weed out any further issues.

It works in IE but not Firefox... I can't figure out why... can you help me and see what I have done wrong?

Madison Square Garden web site opens but when I click on view all concerts tab at the MSG site it does not open. It works with AOL but not Firefox

I go to '''www.thegarden.com''' I click on the tab '''View Full Calendar'''. It does not open. It works on AOL but not Firefox. And for some reason it also does not work when I use Internet Explorer. The majority of times when I click on that tab (in Firefox) it does not work. On a rare occasion it will open. I am not doing anything differently either time.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
