If you receive an error about an invalid security certificate, ensure your computer’s date and time is correct. Additionally, install any operating system updates.

To change the date and time in Windows XP: double click on the time display in the bottom right corner of the screen. In Windows Vista and Windows 7: click once on the time display in the bottom right corner, then click “Change date and time settings” on the pop-up.

To ensure your computer is up to date: in Windows XP, navigate to http://update.microsoft.com; in Windows Vista and Windows 7, click the "Start" button, click "All Programs" and then open Windows Update. In addition to installing any important and recommended updates, look under optional updates for "Root Certificates". Check this update off and then click install. If you are prompted to reboot your computer, do so at your convenience and then try to access the Client Centre again.

On a Mac, software updates are obtained by clicking the Apple logo in the top left corner of the menu bar, then clicking "Update Software".
