Help needed with Internet Explorer

[Malladine]

Friend of mine bought a pc from me. I upgraded IE to 6 SP 1. Downloaded stuff, visited websites, no problems.

He moved. Got a different ISP. Now cipher strength is at 56bit, he can't visit sh1t. How could this happen and more to the point how do I fix it?

I figure i'll just send him a freshly downloaded IE 6 w/SP1 and have him reinstall. That has 128bit encryption by default, right?

A better way would be to just change the damn setting from 56bit to 128bit but I can't find any info on doing that. Any of you know by any chance?

Any help much appreciated

Nobody has an answer to this?

I did, but what's strange is I installed 6.0 on his PC and that IS a high encryption browser by default. I have no idea how his cipher strength was dropped to 56bit...

Those high encryption patches are for earlier (4 and 5) versions of IE.

I guess i'll have to hope that a reinstall of 6.0 sp1 will fix the issue.
