Hi.

Leadfingers, thanks for that one, I had thought of that but at the
moment I am not running E-mails unfortunately, but thanks anyway.

Bill D. This has been tried with two seperate drives, both have had
the caches cleared before trying to log in. I routinely clear my
applog directory, my cookies directory, (except for the ones I know
are from the 'cat), my temp directory and delete my temporary
internet directories, so I am at a loss to understand what is going
on here.

I would have thought that putting two different drives into the
machine would have eliminated any problems that may be on either
one of the drives, leaving just the BIOS to give trouble, (if it
was going to), I have also checked through the bios on the off
chance that there was a cookie blocker in there but can't find
anything.

The machine is accepting cookies from other sites, so they are getting
through to me, maybe I would be better off wiping the drive and
starting again, I am partitioned up, so it isn't that difficult,
it just means a few hours to re-set everything back again and I was
hoping that I might get away with not doing that.

I could also try running windows install again over the top of the
previous installation which might cure it.

Before replying to this I went through the above sequence of clearing
out the cache and other things with the same result, when I log in
again it tells me that I 'AM' logged in, but if I try to access my
PM's it tells me that I have to join the 'Cat, it would appear that
only one cookie is coming through where I should normally have two.
It still doesn't work if I copy the cookies from my other drive by
the way. ????????

Thanks to both of you for replying to this, if you have any more
ideas I would be interested for future occasions or if someone
else has the same problems.

Thanks again

Cattail !
