Question for the Internet Explorer experts

Chock · 11-03-07, 02:10 PM

I cannot seem to reset IE so that it will recognise cookies, this means I have to sign in all the time on any page, even ones I look at all the time, and it means some sites I can't even proceed to. I've done all the standard stuff like going to the IE Tools menu and dropping the Internet Options to low levels, but still it isn't happening.

Any ideas as to how i can sort this? It's IE7 running on XP.

Hold on, I'll make you a tutorial movie using "The Movies" "game", some photoshop and a bunch of video editing.

Come back here in about three weeks or so.

(I'm sorry: I'm joking)

Well, gee thanks for all the help guys, two answers and both taking the p*ss. I know what to do next time either of you ask for help with anything now don't I?

I'm no expert, but do this:

1) Click on the 'Help' button at the top of the screen (it's the last one on the right, next to 'Tools').

2) Click 'Contents and Index'.

3) Click the 'Search' tab.

4) Type in "cookies".

5) Double-click on 'Change your privacy settings'.

That will give you a menu showing what to do to enable cookies. I would have just told you how to actually do it, but the library computer won't allow me to access the 'Tools' button.

Actually, I just looked again; the other options under privacy gives you more ways to customize it. Anyway, that should help you get around.

The Mac OS is a joke. They ripped it off Vista!

While we are talking about big corporations that don't upgrade at the latest and greatest MS OS, the company that I work for didn't upgrade to WXP from NT 4.0 until 2004! MS always pushes back the support date for the previous OS...look at how long it took them to stop providing support for W98SE.
