Hello my problem is my ie 5.5 does not appear to be accepting cookies!! I have the security on low and no firewall installed yet (have just done a re-format) and have all the boxes ticked in this forum ie browse board w/cookies and log on using cookies etc but still no joy this is the same I might add on other forums and places where cookies are required..I have just put in new m/b asus a7v333 and a new hard drive 100gb it seems to have happened since then anyone have any Idea is there any Microsoft certified engineers out there??? by the way when I look in cookie folder in Windows they are not in there..

Have you re-installed a popup stopper or another piece of software that blocks cookies by default?
This sort of thing catches me out every time.

yes, there are microsoft certified engineers out here. not that it means much many times. try logging in to the forum and then logging out. then reboot and log in again. this will usually delete any cookies that have problems with your current (new) setup. they should then work fine.

works for me! :D

Well people...I have found the problem do you want to know..do you really want to know..go on then! the problem was in the Bios settings...would you belive the date was incorrect who would have thought this would make a difference eh so I advise everyone to check date setting maybe could cure a wealth of problems on i.e explorer
