I Have a Presario pre-loaded with Windows XP Home
Edition. I was just playing around looking for different
things I could do and stumbled across something that I
believe was to block all cookies for my user. Now I have
contacted Compaq customer support and they gave me these
detailed directions to use in internet options under
security and privacy tabs and I have enabled every
possible option for cookies and I am still having the
same problem of not being able to stay logged in to
forums or even .NET passport. So far I have done
everything to enable cookies possible and I still get the
same error message about cookies not being enabled. The
place where I found the option in the beginning was not
under internet options, I believe it was some kind of
user setting and I cannot find it. Any suggestions on
how to remedy the problem or where to look? I am going
crazy trying to figure this out and it has been over 2
weeks now.

Use this as a guide, set all settings to default.
