This morning everything was fine with my computer and life was getting along fine, then I decided to take a nap. After my nap my wife tells me that she is having problems logging into hotmail thru the msn site, something about an error message saying 'that I need to enable cookies on my computer'. The problem is, I have always had cookies enabled and my wife says she has always been logging into Hotmail thru MSN the same way. Anyhow my problem does not stop there. I then decide to visit Newbieslair and I guess my cookies no longer work because I am asked to Login, something I normally do not have to do since my login info is saved in a cookie. Then I try out lots of other sites and forums and they all ask for me to login.

I have tried everything I could think of but I this problem just won't go away. I have deleted all my cookies and tried setting new ones, I have tried changing the security settings and privacy settings in Internet Explorer options, but to no avail. I just can't get the cookies to be enabled. By the way when at times I have finally succeeded and I log off windows and log back in, guess what the cookies have dissapeared again.

Would sincerely appreciate some help in resolving this issue., because not only is it such a pain to have to repeatedly login to all the various forums and sites I visit regularly, but also I am actually unable to visit some sites which just tell me to enable the cookies before I cna browse/login to that site.

PS: I am using Windows XP Pro Service Pack1 with all Windows Updates installed. I have not installed anything on my computer for atleast a week and also have not made any changes to my settings.

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp!
