    there's nothing wrong with my card, but my laptop wont let me purchase anything. it lets me go through all the motions then says there's a problem with the card,

    Have you tried using a different browser like Google Chrome or Firefox?? It could be security settings on your internet browser.

    Also can you use a different card on your laptop?

    Does it happen on different sites or just one website?

    could be two things......

    1. you need to reset IE back to its default settings as a security level has been changed not allowing secure online browsing.
    use a search engine and type in 'reset internet explorer * [your version number 6.7.or 8]

    2.
    you've got a banking trojan that IE is detecting and preventing the transfer over a secure network link
    try running:

    You obviously have a computer sex problem.

    Your laptop is male and unless you try and purchase the latest electronics or beer it simply won't work.

    On the other hand, your house computer is female and will shop until the account is empty.
