I have the same problem PLUS Explorer will not allow me to change the cookie setting, i.e. from decline to accept - so i have had to chnage to different browser to even be able to post this message.

In addition to Harri's advice, be sure other applications (especially Entourage and internet applications) are closed when you launch Internet Explorer and make the preference changes. Wait until you quit Internet Explorer to re-launch them.

Other than switching to another browser, I know of no workaround.

I see what you mean. Hopefully and update will be forthcoming, but I'm not holding my breath. I'll probably look into changing browsers.

As far as I'm aware, I only have my browser (IE) and Entourage hooked up to the internet. Others may have a different setup.

But after tinkering some more today, I found that deleting the "Carbon Registration Database" file off of the computer, I was able to save my new info and keep the new reentered password, user, etc settings. Nothing else seem affected and my cookies are now back to normal. Do a search for that file - or you can go to: <your user> --> Library -->Preferences --> Microsoft ---> Carbon Registration Database if it corrects your problem, please post a follow up so that I know it help your situation out and it wasn't just a fluke fix. |
