    Hi everyone, a few weeks ago I reinstalled the OS in my 17x R2 and I installed every single driver and updates to make it work perfectly.
    My problem is that when I go to the internet, the most typical websites that I always visit says that the content was blocked because the security certificate error. It happen either with IE and Chrome, also with some online video games. I can't even use windows updates. I have been trying to see what's the reason of this issue, but I can't find anything to fix it, kinda annoying that every time that I go to the internet that security certificate screen comes out.

    I hope that someone know the way to fix this problem.


    Cheers!

    the Security certificate error is nothing to do with your computer per say, it is the web site.

    You can adjust your security settings to ignore this warning if you want.

    but make sure your antivirus and spam software is up to date

    Just did a google search...is your computer time/date set to correct date? If not, change it and hit Apply, not OK. Then go to the Internet Time tab, and click on Change Settings and then Update Now.

    Make sure that the time/date are correct in the BIOS too.

    No worries man, we're glad to help. I asked some very silly Q's when I first got my m17x, don't worry about it.
