Cookies not Enabled

when i try to log into facebook or other sites like that it tells me i must have cookies enabled to log in....so i go to internet options and it shows cookies are enabled. It looks like my browser is mistaken...or my computer is mistaken or whatever. It doesnt matter which browser I use it says the same thing. I'm not a whiz with the computer so I'm looking for someone who may know what the problem is.

 

Hi scooby.

What OS are you using? (Vista/XP/Win7)

What browser? (FF/IE)

What AV and Firewall do you have installed?


Q

 

I am using Windows xp with service pack three. I generally use use firefox but also have tried ie and google chrome. I get the same message in all three browsers. I use an antivirus and firewall that is part of a security package that I get from sympatico which is my isp. It is called Radialpoint SafeCare Inc.

How long has this been happening (did it ever used to work)

 

Hi, I have been having the same problem for a couple of hours now... I use AVG and Zone Alarm but I did not make any updates or change any settings. Like scoobydoo1952 I went in chrome's and IE's internet option and everything is set to accept cookies????

 

I have now noticed that I can't enter secure sites. Here is what it says when trying to access Gmail:

The site's security certificate has expired!
You attempted to reach www.google.com, but the server presented an expired certificate. No information is available to indicate whether that certificate has been compromised since its expiration. This means Google Chrome cannot guarantee that you are communicating with www.google.com and not an attacker. You should not proceed.

 

Ok I've solved my own problem...I had changed the date to december the 16th 2010 by accident...

Maybe that's your problem too scoobydoo1952...

 

I have reset everything in my security program to recommended but I am still having the problem with cookies not being enabled. It used to work up until the last week or so.

I checked the date and it is the correct one.

Any suggestions are welcome.

 

Still having the problem with the cookies, what a pain in the rump. any suggestions welcome, thanks

 

I tried to do a system restore when the problem first started but it wouldnt let me.

 

I just tried to system restore to yesterday and it worked. However when I tried to restore to a point in Early December it wouldnt do it, error message said it was not possible at this time, tried a few dates all the same answer.


If I have to start over I am not sure if my original disc works. the last time i tried to use it, it said it was missing a file and I ended up taking it into a repair shop to get it fixed.
