Hi Philip :-)

Try the following and see if it helps:

Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0+
Select "Internet Options" from the Tools menu.
Click on the "Privacy" tab.
Click the "Default" button (or manually slide the bar down to "Medium") under "Settings".
Click "OK".

Make certain your time, date, and time *zone* settings are all correct.

Some firewalls will block cookies regardless of any settings you change in IE. If using Zone Alarm, you can turn the blocking of Cookies on or off so it might be worth taking a look at your firewall settings.

,Hi Everyone

I have Windows XP Home edition SP2 with IE 6. Now, somehow IE6 is not
accepting cookies from some sites. Like yahoo for example. I tried to create
a new email address on yahoo. Once I submit the form the error message from
the yahoo site says,"Your browser does not accept cookies. Cannot create
profile." I tried all methods of solving the issue to the best of my
knowledge which includes:

1) IE6 Tools menu - Internet Options - Privacy tab - bringing the slider
down to a low or Advanced button - check the Overide option - select the
Accept radio buttons for both first and third party cookies.

2) Tried reinstalling IE6 from the microsoft site. But in vain as the IE6
SP1 says I have a newer version so cannot install.

3)Tried all other trial and error and searching the net including
reinstalling JRE for God knows what!

Till I though I did give it a try here.

Please advice.

Thank you

Philip Jacob
