I'm getting a SSL Alert saying " The browser and web-site cannot communicate

securely because there are no common encryption algorithms. " I'm trying to

get on a stock trading web-site to do stock tradings. I've always used my

Desktop PC, a Dell Dimension 8300 running Windows XP Pro Edition or my Dell

Inspiron 9400 laptop running Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005. I have no

problems using those operating systems. This is the first time I've tried to

use my DIY, well it used to be a Dell, but pieced together and now running

great for a Windows 98 SE.

It says I need to " Check the SSL protocol settings on the browser for

SSLv3/TLSv1 protocol support. " " The secure web-site may be using

high-strenght encryption algorithms (128 bit). Check the SSL settings on

your browser, if it supports high-strenght encryption algorithms. " " Upgrade

your browser to the latest version. " Ok, upgrade my browser to the latest

version. How do I do that. Where do I go to access and upgrade that data?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, attilathehun1

PS I've built a number of PCs and troubleshooted many more. So I'm PC

enabled to a degree. LOL

Re: SSL Alert

 

And the secret web browser your using is?

 

If IE: Tools > Options > Advanced tab.

Scroll down and make sure "Use SSL 2.0 and 3.0" are checked (selected).

Re: SSL Alert

 

You could try Help Online Support in your browser. The latest version

that will run on Win98SE is 6 with updates. It includes SSL 3 under

Tools Internet Options Advanced.

 

Good luck

RE: SSL Alert

 

Ok, I went to Internet Options, Advanced Tab, scrolled down and checked the

boxes to enable SSLv3/TSLv1. I'm still getting the message that the web-site

may be using high-strenght encryption algorithms (128). Check the settings

on your browser, if it supports high-strenght encryption algorithms. Then

finally, upgrade your browser to the latest version.

I went to Windows Update and it said there is no more support for Windows

98 and Windows ME effective July, 11, 2006. When I click to scan for updates

it give me an error message. Now this has happened maybe 10 times or more

that I've tried to scan for updates. I don't know where to go to update my

browser to the latest version. I figure that must be the answer to this

problem. I'm not sure what to do now though.

Thanks, attilathehun1

RE: SSL Alert

 

For Windows 98 or 98SE the easiest way I have found to update is by using the

Windows Security cd. I am not sure if Microsoft has any more copies left

since 98, 98SE and ME have been discountinued but if Microsoft does not have

any you could borrow one from a friend. The main thing that it sounds like

you need is Internet Explorer 6 which is available as a download from

Microsoft. Here is the link:

 

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=1e1550cb-5e5d-48f5-b02b-20b602228de6&displaylang=en

 

Hopefully, the download and install of IE 6 will set you right. If not then

be sure to check your clock for the proper time setting as well as clearing

the temporary Internet files including off-line files. I would also clear

your Internet History and all of your cookies from Internet Explorer. Please

let us know if any of these suggestions helped. Thank you for your time and

have a great day!

( Don't know if updating the 'Windows Root Certificates' will help,

<http://download.windowsupdate.com/msdownload/update/v3/static/trustedr/en/rootsupd.exe>,

 

if you haven't done it already. Others may weigh in on whether the current

download, version 13, is still even advisable to install on Win98xE or not.)

 

 

Anyways, if you can't get Web-browser X to work, it's a good thing

alternatives Y and Z exist, don't you think?

 

*Opera* : <http://www.opera.com/download/>

<http://www.opera.com/products/desktop/>:

"Opera supports Secure Socket Layer (SSL) version 3, and TLS 1.0 and 1.1.

Opera supports 256-bit encryption, the strongest standard encryption for the

Web."

 

*Firefox* : <http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/>

also does Encryption - SSL, TLS and Certificates.

<http://www.mozilla.org/support/firefox/options#advanced> at the bottom.

 

And both these Web-browsers are still updated for both Win98FE and Win98SE.

YIKES-- not root certificates again! I'm back to...

 

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed

Components\{EF289A85-8E57-408d-BE47-73B55609861A}]

@="RootsUpdate"

"IsInstalled"=dword:00000001

"Version"="6,0,2195,0"

"Locale"="*"

"ComponentID"="Windows Roots Update"

 

.... after fishing them out of a Registry on D:partition-- & I have no

problem with encryption! I had to EXPORT that entire Registry to do it!

 

I think probably Dan has it right... update to IE6 SP1 probably does it.

I see no specific critical update offering 128 bit encryption at the

Catalog...

http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/catalog/en/default.asp

....but, I guess, take the latest IE Cumulative Update too. It might be

in that!

 

OR... if one doesn't want to go to IE6... maybe go to the Corporate

site...

http://www.microsoft.com/windows98/downloads/corporate.asp

...., but I can't quite find it there, either.
