Safari and IE not loading web pages corr

[jacs]

I'm running MAC OS X version 10.3.9 on an iMAC (1.8GHz).

Lately I've noticed that when safari loads (Safari 1.3.2 (V312.6)) certain web pages, they either load only partially or not at all. Some pages flash constantly. I'm also seeing a pop up window that states that "safari can't open the page .... because it cannot establish a secure connection to server...."

With IE, certain websites bring up the message "the application internet explorer has unexpectedly quit. The system and other applications have not been affected."

So far, I have attempted changing the firewall settings, security settings to no avail.

I run an internet connection with connexus that otherwise appears to function properly.

Prior to the above, there seemed to be no major issues with my iMAC.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

That version of Safari with 10.3.9 is seriously outdated. And IE is even more outdated. That's why you are having issues. You could possibly look for an older version of Firefox which may work for you, but you won't be able to run the latest version of firefox which is 3.5 I believe. Otherwise there is nothing you can do for IE and the only cure for Safari is upgrading your OS to 10.4 at least.

Do you have any good links for updating the Mac OS?

There is no legal link to download updates for MacOS X 10.3.9. You need a legal retail version of MacOS X 10.4. Once installed, you will need to run Software Update until there are no more updates available. You will end up with MacOS X 10.4.11, Safari 4.0.2, the latest versions of QuickTime, iTunes, and other Mac utilities and apps.
