I keep getting messages from various websites saying that I need to enable my
cookies. I have tried all of the settings, I have cleared all previous
cookies, I've entered in the individual websites under "allow cookies"...I've
tried everything and it still won't work. This just happened within the past
few weeks and I haven't changed anything with my security. What could be
causing this, and what can I do to fix it?

Windows version? IE version?

Thank you so much...I think my kids must have changed the date somehow. I
put in the correct date and everything works again. I really appreciate your
help! I'm just surprised that info wasn't listed anywhere. I've looked at a
lot of troubleshooting sites and none of them mentioned that as a solution.

Thanks again!
