All of a sudden IE no longer accepts cookies

Yes, I've changed all the settings to allow cookies and I've checked my firewall and norton Security features. They all check out normal. I still can't view my emails because of the cookie factor which I was able to do last week. If I switch to netscape or firefox everything is fine but I still want the option of IE.
Any suggestions?

Also, how do I remove IE but keep my favorites?
Any suggestions?

Thanks

Check to make sure your security setting is no higher than medium. Also to can create a backup of your favorites by in ie going to file > import and export. Then follow the wizard to export you favorites.

Take a look here for all the different custimizations that can effect cookies.

That link is not very helpful. I followed all of their instructions and, still, some of the sites I go to can not create cookies, some can.

Sounds like it was a little helpful if IE is now accepting some cookies :-)

Maybe try completely disabling Norton till next reboot and see if that helps...it's been a while since I used any Norton product but when I did I was aware that Norton can have a negative effect on my browsing experience.

Does the same happen on all profiles on your PC?
