NMCI Webmail Windows 7, Vista, XP: Here is the link where you can check your NMCI Webmail. All DOD employees and Military Reserve members require a CAC Card Reader if they wish to check their Military email. You will need to install the ACTIV CARD Software if you have a computer with Windows XP and Vista but you do not need the Activ Card Software for Windows 7. Windows 7 has built in drivers and card reader software required to check your email and log in to all CAC enabled Military, Navy and Government Web sites.
These settings are tested to work on Windows 7 Ultimate. Make sure you have to following Internet security settings checked exactly like the pictures below. (Click Pictures for a larger view)
After you have checked the proper settings insert your CAc reader and card . Insert your CAC Reader , Windows will install all the necessary drivers and software automatically.

I have found that this only works with the latest and greatest revisions of the CAC Card aka a PIV II CAC (back shows: “Gemalto TOP DL GX4 144″ or “Oberthur ID One 128 v5.5 Dual”). If you have had your CAC for a while the above solution doesn’t always work out (mine is “Oberthur ID One v5.2a Dual”). There is a solution without installing the hefty Activclient v6.2 (which you can’t get at home without a cac login).
The solution is to install Fedora Smart Card Manager, and then download Coolkey for Windows and extract to C:\Windows\System32, both are available at http://www.nabber.org/projects/coolkey/ . Clear your cookies/history/cache, restart your browser, and all should work very well… without the bloat of Activclient. You may need/want to install the DOD root certificates as well (gets rid of the proceed anyway security alerts), available in a simple exe here http://www.cap.af.mil/certificates.cfm
Hope this saves someone the hassle of figuring this all out on their own.

Have tried every item you listed above and still get the “Internet cannot display the webpage” for any CAC-required site. I only have my current certs loaded, cleared the SSL cache, history and temp files and checked the appropriate boxes in the advanced tab. Also disabled protected mode in IE. Utilizing Vista and IE 9.0.8112.16421 and Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2. Have ActivClient 6.1 installed (don’t know how to get 6.2 with a CAC). ActiveClient works fine and allow you to view card, do troubleshooting, etc. Help! Thanks.
Will
make sure you import your certificates into internet explorer.

FIX IE cannot display webpage for me: remove DoD ROOT CA 2 issued by DoD Interoperability – thanks MilitaryCAC.com !
“Removal of the following intermediate root certificates has allowed them to clear up issues with many of the new CACs **Issued to: DoD Root CA 2 Issued by: DoD Interoperability Root CA 1** ”
