As a temporary fix, you may wish to try an alternate web browser such as Netscape or Mozilla Firefox.
Both websites, email, and D2L, use what is called SSL -- a commonly used mechanism to protect your privacy on the web. Try going to other pages that use SSL, such as PayPal (https://www.paypal.com) [note the "https" in the address denoting the security].
The problem could also be caused by a corrupt installation of Java. In Internet Explorer, go to http://www.java.com and you may be prompted to install software. Otherwise, click 'Java Software Download' at the top of the webpage. Then, click 'Download Now'. Save the file to your desktop and when the download is done, double-click the icon to begin the Java installation.
Once the installation is done, reboot your computer. When it is done rebooting, try logging into D2L.
If you continue to have problems accessing D2L using one of the alternate browsers, or also have problems going to other SSL-enabled sites, please contact D2L support at d2l-support@uww.edu.
