The firewall and AV settings are default on both machines (but I've looked at them in detail), and if I've overlooked a setting somewhere, I need to rest for a few hours before I look again, because I didn't notice any difference anywhere – beyond the OS and IE versions, and the NIC hardware, of course (but this is the only secured site I have trouble with). Yes, certificates <em>might</em> be an issue, but I don't have a certificate error message that might point me in the right direction. &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.winextra.com/forums/my-plugins/smiley-choice/Default Smiley/icon_cry.gif&quot; title=&quot;:cry:&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; </p> http://www.winextra.com/forums/topic/10766#post-53882 Thu, 12 Jan 2012 14:06:50 +0000 dontor 53882@http://www.winextra.com/forums/ <p>One of the bummers with "both are setup identical" is we tend to overlook something from that assumption. Keep looking because something ain't the same.<br /> What about firewall and av settings?<br /> Really just trying to throw out some ideas that might get you to see something.<br /> Perhaps Certificates an issue?<br /> <a href="http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/ie/forum/ie9-windows_7/internet-explorer-9-certificates-https-websites/9f6293b8-df70-e011-8dfc-68b599b31bf5" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/ie/forum/ie9-windows_7/internet-explorer-9-certificates-https-websites/9f6293b8-df70-e011-8dfc-68b599b31bf5</a><br /> Good luck.

IE tells me there's a DNS error. I can access it from my wife's computer with no problem. She has IE8 and Vista, I have IE9 and Win7. Both machines are fully up-to-date. Both are connected through the same router. Both have the Windows firewall and MSE. I've looked at the IPv4 parameters, they're identical on both machines. So are IE's security parameters in Internet Options, Advanced. Both hosts files are the default one provided by Windows.</p> <p>Any ideas, please? &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.winextra.com/forums/my-plugins/smiley-choice/Default Smiley/icon_confused.gif&quot; title=&quot;:?&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; </p> http://www.winextra.com/forums/topic/10737#post-53784 Sat, 24 Dec 2011 08:47:21 +0000 Pierre 53784@http://www.winextra.com/forums/ <p>Is that "PureHD" part of Corel's Video Studio? If so, you should try repairing the software install (or reinstall it altogether). Look in the PureHD settings if you can't remove the drive from its scan. Alternatively, create an empty "My Music" folder on the drive and see what happens. </p> http://www.winextra.com/forums/topic/10737#post-53783 Sat, 24 Dec 2011 04:42:45 +0000 Billy 53783@http://www.winextra.com/forums/ <p>Win XP Pro. </p> <p>Whenever a certain disk (one of 3 physical drives in the box) is accessed, a popup saying "Please wait while Windows configures PureHD", quickly followed by an error: "The folder 'My Music' contains an invalid character". The process repeats until one quickly gets to the 'cancel' button a couple times.</p> <p>Now, ignoring for the moment that there is no 'my music' folder on the disk, any idea where this is coming from, and how do I stop it, aside from simply disabling everything pertaining to PureHD?</p> <p>tia </p> http://www.winextra.com/forums/topic/10714#post-53687 Mon, 05 Dec 2011 13:40:00 +0000 Joe M. 53687@http://www.winextra.com/forums/ <p>Yes, I tried changing the extensions. You're right, it looks like it's just "bing, bang, boom" easy. I must be doing something fundamentally wrong.<br /> I emailed the developer to see if he could shed some light on it.</p> <p>Joe</p> <blockquote><p><cite>Pierre <a href="http://www.winextra.com/forums/topic/10714#post-53686" target="_blank">said</a>:</cite><br /> Did you try changing the file extension the program looks for?
