Cookies---

I have lost the ability to stay logged on to Yahoo, Major Geeks, and all websites that I use regularly----I have followed all the hints I can find here and in SBC's help center on cookies---and still cannot remain logged into any sites---meaning I can log in but as soon as I leave the site I have to re log on---never had to do that before---have a Dell XPS---Windows XP---SP2---IE7---just reinstalled operating system last week---thought that might have been the problem---but that didn't fix it either---any help would be appreciated---I am totally stumped---thanks much---

 

This tool might help you, sounds like a problem with configuration. I don't use it but others do and seems to work for them. It will check your settings, hope it help. I'm guessing your ISP is ATT/SBC/Yahoo or whatever their calling it today

Hi---thanks---tried that---no luck---

 

Guessing you tried this..but go to this file and delete anything that says Text File.
C:\Documents & Settings\"username"\Cookies

Also are you checking the box on login that reads "Remember Me" ?
Does the disconnect only happen when you login somewhere?

Do you mean you're closing the window to MajorGeeks and have to log back in when you open a new window?

 

Hi---again---many thanks---ended up talking with a friend who runs the IT Dept at work---he took over my computer and did amazing things to it---cookies still do not work in IE7 but he downloaded Firefox for me and everything works awesome in Firefox!---I am sooooo happy---so, thanks Major Kitty Cat for your time and effort too---it sure was a puzzle---

 

Nothing like a IT Dept love them at work, send a screenshot of whatever is pestering me and poof it's gone! Still strange re IE, did they check your firewall settings?

 

Oh yes---firewall and all settings were perfectly fine---even re downloaded IE7---still no workie---am actually glad---I love Firefox!---a lot of fun to tinker with---thanks again for your time---
