Windows Forum / Internet Explorer / General Topics / July 2007Surprise ... Cookies
I, too, am having some major problems with my cookies. They're set to low, but not a single website has cookies retained for it. I wiped out everything (passwords, temp files, etc), restarted the computer and that didn't work, either. It's not saving anything when I click "remember my info" (or something close to that). It's also not remembering what websites are okay for pop-up's (I had to struggle to make this thread!). It's been like this for more than a week and I'm pretty clueless as to what to do. I've disabled my firewall (both windows and 3rd party), ran a spyware check and virus check and came up with nothing. Do you have security software that is set to erase your cookies? --- Leonard Grey Errare humanum est > I, too, am having some major problems with my cookies.

"Currently, I have no security software running." No anti-virus? No anti-malware? No firewall?

It was only for the purpose of this thread to test. I've enabled everything again, though. > "Currently, I have no security software running." > [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] > >>> my firewall (both windows and 3rd party), ran a spyware check and virus check > >>> and came up with nothing. > At one point in time.. and that was if I set it to erase them.

Some security software apparently does not really disable as well as you might expect and instead actually has to be removed to have the desired effect. Also, there are even cases then of the uninstall not working properly, so then you have to visit the web site of the company which makes it for special instructions or an improved uninstaller.

You may have a horked (dirty; bad; flawed) install of IE7. I suggest that you.., 1. Uninstall IE7 (which automatically returns you to IE6) per http://www.ie-vista.com/kbase2.html 2. Uninstall all toolbars and third-party Windows Themes (including Window Blinds). 3. If the behavior does NOT persist in IE6, reinstall IE7 per http://www.ie-vista.com/known_issues.html#pre-install, and using http://www.microsoft.com/windows/downloads/default.mspx as the installation source, not Automatic/Windows Update.

So far, so good. I uninstalled ie7 and reinstalled it. I don't know if it was causing it, but I had the Google toolbar on there that I uninstalled as well. I've been using ie for about 15 minutes now and it's saved everything.. *crosses fingers* > You may have a horked (dirty; bad; flawed) install of IE7.

If all remains well, try installing the most-recent version of Google Toolbar, if desired.

Bah.. maybe I spoke too soon. Nothing was saved when I turned the computer back on this morning. :( > Thanks for posting back.

Contact CA Support (or read your CA Internet Security's Help file more closely) to see if one or more settings in this security suite may be the culprit.
