TITLE   :Problems Accessing Secured Site with Czech WinNT SP4 and IE 5.0
PRODUCT :Windows NT
PROD/VER:4.0
OPER/SYS:WINDOWS NT
KEYWORD :kbbug4.00 kbfix4.00 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Windows NT Workstation version 4.0 SP4 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE: The information in this article applies to the Czech version(s) of 
Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 4.

SYMPTOMS
========

If you install the Czech version of Internet Explorer 5.0 on a computer with the
Czech version of Windows NT 4.0 Workstation with Service Pack 4, you may
experience problems accessing Secure HTTP sites (for example,
https://microsoft.com/).

CAUSE
=====

This is caused by an incorrect version of Schannel.dll that was included with
the Czech version of Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 4. To display secure http sites
properly, the version of Schannel.dll has to be at least 4.85.1900.1877.

RESOLUTION
==========

This fix upgrades Schannel.dll so that secure sites are displayed properly. A
supported fix that corrects this problem is now available from Microsoft, but it
has not been fully regression tested and should be applied only to systems
experiencing this specific problem. If you are not severely affected by this
specific problem, Microsoft recommends that you wait for the next Windows NT 4.0
service pack that contains this fix.

To resolve this problem immediately, contact Microsoft Product Support Services
to obtain the fix. For a complete list of Microsoft Product Support Services
phone numbers and information on support costs, please go to the following

The Czech version of this fix should have the following file attributes or
