Hi i am using a mates pc to post this question and im not sure if i have put
it in the correct section.

When i try to get onto some sites i get an error saying cookies are not
enabled yet i was able to get onto the site the other day with no problems.
I have internet explorer 6.0 and am running windows xp proffesional edition
service pack 2 -- i have tried goings to tools, internet options, security,
custom level, like the pages tell me to. to fix the problem but there is no
cookies option there.
Anyone who know how to fix the problem can u please email me at
(e-mail address removed)
 
Hi Sabina :-)

Try the following and see if it helps:

Go to Internet Explorer>Tools>Internet Options->General Tab
Click the following buttons: Delete cookies. Delete Files (also button that
pops up: Delete Offline Content). Clear History. If you save any cookies,
history or offline content, then selectively delete the useless items. The
cookie(s) for the site giving you trouble would be one to delete.

Check to ensure Javascript is enabled. Click the Security Tab. Click to
highlight Internet Zone. Click the Default Level Button. Then click the
Custom Level button. Make sure it is set to Medium. Under the heading Java
Permissions make sure it is set to Medium Safety. Scroll down to the
Scripting Heading. Make sure all are set to Enable.

Look for a file named HOSTS with no extension. (not Hosts.sam or
Lmhosts.sam). Could be a hidden file so you will have to be sure Show All
Files. Also, be sure to uncheck, Hide extensions for known file types.
These can be found in Folder Options. Start>Settings or Windows
Explorer->Tools. Or on the View Tab.

You can open up a Hosts file and edit with notepad. Look for entries related
to the problem site. Either delete or place a # at each related entry. The #
symbol forces Windows to ignore that line. Save the new edited version to
the location where it was found. Reboot and see if that was the cause of the
problem.

Click Start->Run. Type
regsvr32 urlmon.dll and then click OK. Repeat, substituting each of these
additional DLLs:

regsvr32 Shdocvw.dll
regsvr32 Msjava.dll
regsvr32 Actxprxy.dll
regsvr32 Oleaut32.dll
regsvr32 Mshtml.dll
regsvr32 Browseui.dllHow to Set and Customize Cookies Settings in Internet

Make certain your time, date, and time *zone* settings are all correct.

Some firewalls will block cookies regardless of any settings you change in
IE. If using Zone Alarm, you can turn the blocking of Cookies on or off so
it might be worth taking a look at your firewall settings.

Suggest disabling any firewall until cookies are working correctly. Make
certain your time, date, and time *zone* settings are all correct.
