Have you cleared the cache?

[Rufus®]

^^^ i agree, dump your cache, or if you're using firefox, just clear all your private data, not sure how it works in IE

[Troy711]

im using IE

at the risk of sounding like a dumb arse... where do i go to clear the cache?

[Rufus®]

Tools / Internet Options / General ==> delete cookies and delete files (temporary internet files) that should do the trick.

[Troy711]

negative... not working

[Rufus®]

hmmm, what version of IE are you using? it's possible that windoze did an update for ie yesterday?! you could also go to Tools / Internet Options / Content ==> Clear SSL State, and also on that same tab, check that your autocomplete settings are filled in...

[Troy711]

could be on to something... i think it did some up(the)dates yesterday...

ill try that

[Troy711]

grr.. not working!

Try a different browser, like Firefox.

Firefox web browser | Faster, more secure, & customizable

cleared cookies? this will mean you'll have to enter information all again for each site, but might rectify it

[holdensupporter2005]

if you are using IE7
click Tools --> Internet Options --> Advanced Tab
click on RESET button. This will set IE7 back to factory defaults.

Check the privacy tab of the IE settings. It may have been changed to stop accepting cookies, or just set to high.
