Make sure session cookies are enabled in your browser - Tools, Internet
Options, Privacy, Advanced, check the box "Always allow session cookies"

If you are using IE 5.5 or IE 6.0, and your local server name has an
underscore or other non-alphanumeric character (other than a dash) in the
name, then cookies will not work correctly. One workaround is to access the
machine by IP address; others include renaming the server or at least adding
an entry to the clients' hosts files, or alter your local DNS/WINS, or add a
new host header to the web server, with a more friendly name. For more info,
search http://msdn.microsoft.com/ for Q312461 and Q316112.

Make sure you haven't disabled session state in Internet Services Manager,
and that it has an appropriate timeout value:
Open the Internet Services Manager MMC tool, and expand 'Web Sites'
Right-click 'Default Web Site' or the application in question, and select
'Properties'
On the 'Home Directory' tab, click the 'Configuration...' button
On the 'Options' tab, make sure 'Enable session state' is checked and that
the timeout value (in minutes) is sufficient.

Also, try removing and re-creating the application in the Internet Services
Manager MMC tool. this often fixes problems like this.
