Windows 7 64bit - https / certificate error !!!

[burgemaster]

After running Win 7 32bit fine for a few months, I thought id give Windows 7 64bit a go....

 

After installing, i reallised that any HTTPs websites that i visit give me a

 

"This CA Root certificate is not trusted because it is not in the Trusted Root Certification Authorities store"

On all other machines, including other Win7 64bit machines, the cert is fine.

After 2hours searching I decided that it had beaten me, i then formatted with a fresh install. I logged in (still on workgroup) straight after the install finished without installing anything and yet again !!!

 

Certificate errors as before??

 

Can anyone please shed any light on this one?

The clock and date are set down to the second, is Ive tried network updating network card drivers, and then all win 7 updates. but i cant sort this one !

 

Any help would be appreicated !

Corruption in the installation CD/Share?

 

Possible issue with your Proxy server and/or Filtering software?

Thanks for the reply,

 

I have tried on our normal proxy and the students proxy, and my technician opposite me is on the exact same settings. Also nothing is installed yet, not even antivirus!

 

The install is from a M$ DVD

Have you done the root certificates updates from M$ yet?

Hi,

 

I’m not sure if this would be the same for you but I had the same trouble with my Windows 7 64bit install at home. After a lot head scratching I realised that my system date was wrong. All the security certificates were invalid because my computer date was sometime in the past (or future, I can’t remember).

 

Sounded too simple to believe when I did it but it seemed to work.

 

Hope this helps,

 

Regards,

 

Ian.

Thanks Ian, But this give a different error. I have tried setting the date to an incorrect date and get the above error and aslo another error about expired cert etc.

 

I set the clock to the Talking Clock !

SORTED !!!!!!!!

 

 

thanks mate, was about to do something drastic!!!

 

Even though this applied to XP i installed:

 

Update for Root Certificates [september 2009] (KB931125)

 

Now all SSL are working again..

 

Thanks mate, never had to manually do that before?

Thanks this has been bugging me and I've been blaming our Service provider and/or LP seems like it was good old M$ all along ---typical

I am having this exact same issue, however, when I tried to apply the root update that was mentioned it didn't seem to do anything. I am running Windows 7 64bit SP1. Would that have anything to do with it?

 

Also, even after doing the update that didn't seem to do anything I am still having the same issue.
