Check your security settings in IE and be sure they are not to high, also, click on help/about Internet Explorer in IE and check that the cipher strength is 128-bit.

Also, delete your temporary internet files and you may want to scan for adware/spyware.

Control Panel, Internet Options, Connections. LAN settings, uncheck all 3 boxes.

Thanks for the replys.
I upgraded the ie5 with the latest security updates and anything else ms might have.
I checked the Lan settings and the boxes are unchecked.
Checked in registry, cant see any thing to do with paypal.
still cant access the log in page, still gettine either the page is down or browser settings wrong. Check page with home computer and it working fine.
It must be something on my laptop witch is causing the page to not down load.

Check to see if your internet settings or firewall settings are set to accept cookies.

ie 5 does not have the 128 bit needed

Thanks,
I have checked in tools options and there are cookies from paypal in there. I am running History Kill which clears them all out but i have had this on for ages. If i up grade to ie 6 will this work with win95.

go to "help" "about" and see what your cipher strenght is, I have not used ie 5 or 95 for pert near 10 years and have no bizzniss answering this question. bet it's 40's though.
