below: 1. Open the Windows Control Panel 2. Click
on "Internet Options" 3. Click the "Content" tab &
then the "Clear SSL state" button 4. Click the
"Certificates" button 5. Make sure the "Intended
purpose" drop down is set to "" 6. Click on the
"Trusted Root Certification Authorities" tab 7.
Make sure there is an entry for
http://www.valicert.com/ there & if there is not,
please do the following: 7.1 Save this certificate
to your Desktop:
