Hi all
When trying to login or register on some sites i get a message saying that the cookies are not being accepted!
Heres what ive tried:
Installed new v6 of IE
Set privacy to Low (Accept all cookies)
Deleted ALL cookies
Uninstalled McAfee Personal Plus Firewall (Edited registry accordingly)
But im still experiencing these problems?
Im not sure what else i can do, apart from reinstalling the OS (which i really dont want to do)
All suggestions welcome.

Hurry up and set back your privacy to medium as soon as you can.
And about you problem, The only thing I can say is just trying with another browser like opera.
I personally use IE6, and have my Privacy Settings set to High. On that same window, however, there is a box labeled "Web Sites". Simply click "Edit" and type any websites that you need to accept cookies from (for example: antionline.com) This will allow your browser to accept the cookies to specific sites while others are blocked.

Yes, good advice avdven - LuaLua, just be sure that when you do this that you completely trust the site that you will be accepting the cookie from.
Thanx for the replys.
Unleashed: I only configured thse to see if that was what was causing the problems, they're back to normal now!
Avdven: I have tried this but still no joy!
Any more suggestions people?
Cheers

Honestly... I would try using a different browser. If the problem doesn't appear there, check to make sure that you haven't accidentally made the cookies folder read-only (made that mistake once myself.... long story). Also, do you have any other firewalls or ad-blocking software running which you may have forgotten about?
AJ
Ive no other firewalls installed and no ad-blocking s/w.
I had upgraded IE from 5.5 to 6 with the same issue.
I honestly think that the firewall has caused this problem, and the only way to remove this completely is to reinstall windoze or even format c: then do a fresh install (which i really dont want to do)
What other browser would you recommend avdven?
Cheers for the replies

lol
LuaLua> y do u have to Installed new v6 of IE
Set privacy to Low (Accept all cookies)
Deleted ALL cookies
Uninstalled McAfee Personal Plus Firewall (Edited registry accordingly)
just becos you are trying to login or register on some sites i get a message saying that the cookies are not being accepted.
what a lane thing to do.
simple reset your cookies
LOL............lane thing to do???
Reset cookies???
Is deleting the cookies not just the same as resetting them???
Recently i had this problem...Took me 2 reformat's and placing in another hard drive into box only to find that i could still not log into sites even on lowest settings..
Ended up being i had to "Flash" the BIOS on the motherboard.
Don't just say formatting will give you a new O/S.Somehow cookies are controlled by the motherboard too!!
I had used DOS commands on Index.bat in cookies folder to remove it...Damn i tried everything!!
Check out the BIOS first is my first Thought:)
Have you tried just reinstalling Internet Explorer? I don't accept anything but 'session cookies' and clean all cache files upon reboot. Some sites (PayPal for instance) will show an error message even when I've reset to accepting cookies. If the sites you're having problems with are anything like PayPal, just click on their "Logon" tab and presto chango . . . you're in. Wish you luck.
Tried everything vvirtho, cheers anyways.
Im gonna install Opera to see if this will help and if not im gonna install win2k
Thanx for all the help guys, appreciated!
L:L
lol,
LuaLua, Resetting cookies is NOT the same as Deleting them!
so take note.
Well could you please elaborate, instead of making just stupid comments!
I tried this when my I.E would not login and Netscape worked.So you may have no troubles with Opera.Quote:

If you ever need I.E...As i said!
I tried everything until i found there could only be something wrong on the motherboard.
I was offered this BAT file..try it if you know how??
If Exist c:\WINDOWS\fff*.tmp del c:\WINDOWS\fff*.tmp
deltree /y C:\WINDOWS\temp
deltree /y C:\WINDOWS\tempor~1
deltree /y C:\WINDOWS\cookies
deltree /y C:\WINDOWS\win386.swp
deltree /y C:\temp
exit
This did not fix my system but may help you???
Cheers Info_Au, ill try this bat file when i get home.
Did u try this at all on your own box?
L:L
Yes i tried this on my own box but it did not fix my problem.
By the time i had tried this i had installed Windows 5 times and I.E over and over.
So next was to put in another hard drive with fresh install of windows..Still the problem was there..The bios on the motherboard needed to be updated..After this was done i have never had another problem logging in again.
Thanx again Info_Au
Info_AU -
I am using a BAT file similar to the one you have. Basically this is cleaning your cookies and temporary files caches at bootup. I have a few more lines in mine which also take care of the index.dat cache and a few other cache-type files. I don't have the SWP file reference though so maybe I'll add that.
LuaLua -
Did the cookie problem start after you upgraded to IE6 or . . . ? I'm sticking with IE5.5 because I heard 6 had quite a few bug issues. Until I switch over to Linux . . . I'll probably continue with the same browser . . . it may not be the best but it's working great with my firewall and AV. I hope you can figure out what happened - especially if all was working well before the cookie problem. Take it easy.
Vvirtho: No, i upgraded to IE 6 because i thought that might sort the problem, but alas it didnt!
Downloaded Opera last night and gonna install tonight, so cheers lads for the help, appreciated!

I just want to know why this thread has an antipoint rating of Negative???
