Hi,
Well I went through some toubleshooting steps with Sandeep and it was determined that something was blocking my computer to access the login at AlertPay. I could access the home page and other pages, but couldn't login...it would just time out. We did a ping and tracert to discover there was no connection.
Sandeep suggested I contact my ISP to see if there was a problem. I did so and my ISP had no trouble with AlertPay...she even set up an account successfully. So the problem is with my computer. something is preventing it from loggin in to AlertPay. I have no trouble logging in to other sites at all. I did clean up some low risk adware programs by using Spyware Doctor (free with Google Pack) but it did not solve the problem. I also disabled my AV program and included AlertPay.com in my list of trusted sites...no luck.
This may be unrelated, but I was unable to successfully install MS Service Pack 3 with an "Access is Denied" error. I'm in the process of troubleshooting that issue at the moment. If I'm able to login to AlertPay after that, I will make a post here. If not. it looks like I'll be in limbo untill I get a new computer.
Thanks for your help Sandeep.
Leo.
