Why wouldn't https and only https site fail to load?

My friend just called and she can't get any https sites to come up... but the rest of the internet works fine. I'm drawing a blank here.

System is a VAIO laptop with wireless and XP SP2.

Ideas?

Problem solved, she downloaded Firefox, and everything works.

"Can I uninstall Internet Explorer?"
"No, it's built into XP."
"That sucks."

Somehow her certificate server implementation was disabled or is set to never accept connections to sites not under a certain certificate authority.

yeah. Go to tools -> internet options -> advanced. Scroll down to security and make sure that her certificate settings are all correct. (i.e. make sure she is set up to use SSL 2/3)
