Running IE7 in WinXP, I'm taken to a different but related page that says...

<QP>
There is a problem with this website's security certificate.
The security certificate presented by this website was not issued by a
trusted certificate authority.
Security certificate problems may indicate an attempt to fool you or
intercept any data you send to the server.

There have been recurring problems after logging in to post a message via
http://www.microsoft.com/communities...s/default.mspx or
http://support.microsoft.com/newsgroups/. If you're presented with a "Page
cannot be displayed" error after logging in, simply go back to either URL
and you should find that you're logged in.

Do you have the most recent Root Certificates update installed (usually
listed as an Option update at Windows Update)? Is the machine fully patched
at Windows Update?

What anti-virus or "internet security" suite are you running? What
third-party firewall, if any?
