I'm trying to log in to a couple of websites that I use frequently - and as
recently as last night. But for some reason, I'm not getting anywhere. One
site looks like it's letting me log in - I see the "welcome (username)"
screen - but then it immediately goes back to the login screen. The other
site simply tells me that I have to allow their cookies to log in. I've
tried changing the security level slider bar, but still can't log in to
either site. The only thing that changed on my computer between last night &
today is that I ran Spybot and Adaware. I've run both many times in the
past, and they have not given me problems with these websites or cookies.
Can anyone offer any suggestions?
 
Windows version?

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

Ugh, I feel so dumb - my calendar was not set to the right date. Not sure
how or when I screwed it up, but it totally took care of the problem. Thanks
very much, PA Bear!
