This morning is not a good one. My PC is rejecting random cookies. Hotmail won’t let me in at all. The BBC and amazon let me log in, but won’t remember who I am. The SDMB is no proble though.

I’m running IE 6.0. Since this began, I’ve deleted all my temporary files, cookies and settings. I’ve turned down all the security settings to the minimum. I’ve turned off and turned on. I’m also behind a corporate firewall (which I can’t mess with) if that makes any difference.

Reduce security settings at your own risk.
