128 Bit Encryption

[Mumbo Jumbo]

I have just up graded to Windows Xp , ( service pack 2 ) and when I try to log log onto my bank web site it will not accept my details, when I used my old Windows 98 OS , there was no problem at all, I think the bank web site requires some thing called 128 bit encryption, but I also think Windows XP has this included...? any ideas please...?

............ Thanks ........... MUMBO

Go into MSIE and select HELP on the tool bar, then scroll down to About Internet Explorer.

It will tell you if the version you have loaded is 128bit enabled.

Also be sure your ssl options are checked.

IE6 tools/internet options/advanced/security/ (use ssl 2.0 and use ssl 3.0 should be checked)
