welcome to the forum roscoe!
there is a thread all about different laptop setups working with ssl available in the 'general discussions' area of the board.
www.scratchlive.net
the help section should be used for explicit problems with the scratch live software instead of general requests for suggestions like this one. also, the 'please follow-up on this thread' should be used for emergancy help situations.
