I am helping my employee with a login failure to a healthcare website when
using her home computer, which has internet explorer 7 recently installed by
a tech service.
Entering the correct username and password refreshes the page or kicks it
back one page, without successfully completing the login. There is no error
message. When a different computer is used the login to the same site it is
succesful. When loging into a different website on the computer in question
the login process is also succesful; we have so far identified two separate
websites where the failure to log occurs using correct userid and password
entries, and verified other websites where loging happens smoothly.
I turned off Pop Blocker without any good results. Any ideas?
Thanks,

Tools>Internet Options>Advanced Tab
Scroll Down to Security
Ensure Use SSL 3.0 is checked
Ensure Use TLS 1.0 is checked
If both are enabled, uncheck Use TLS 1.0
Check SSL 2.0
Click ok
See if that helps.
Also, have you compared configurations on computers to determine the
difference in IE settings?

SSL 2.0 and 3.0 were checked and TLS unchecked on my machine, where the login
worked fine, and on hers it was the same configuration, where the login
fails. I tried SSL 2.0 and TLS checked without success prior to my entry
yesterday. I will try other combinations next time I'm at the computer.
Thanks.

What if you right click the IE icon on the desktop and choose Start Without
Add-ons?
Or go to Start | All Programs | Accessories | System Tools | Internet
Explorer (No Add-ons).

I checked the settings and they are already set to start without add-ons. Any
other suggestions?

So How Did I Get Infected Anyway?
For quite a few people it's by installing Messenger Plus, whose ads for
malware don't identify the malware as such and try to convince you that you
owe it to the author. See also:

Don't ever do a "default" install of anything. Always choose Custom and see
what else is being carried along. Don't install any extras you're not sure
of.
