Hi I recently found a problem with my Internet Options Privacy settings.

I have not been able to access hotmail, gmail or msn because it says I do not have cookies turned on. When I go into Internet Options my privacy setting is on custom which is not allowing cookies I think. I changed it to default settings which is medium and click apply. However it still said I did not have cookies turned on and when I went back into privacy settings it was on custom again. I have tried changing back to default many times but it just keeps returning to custom . Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

On the 'Privacy' tab in Internet Options', click on the 'Advanced button. Tick "override automatic cookie handling". Set 'first party' cookies to 'Allow', set 'third-party' cookies to 'prompt', and tick the box for "Always allow session cookies'. Click 'OK' to save the new settings.

Sometimes you must click out of IE and restart it in order for new settings to take effect.

I have tried both suggestions before. I had to however replace wininet.dll recently as my one was infected so mayby that has something to do with it.

Ok solved the cookie problem with a new wininet.dll however I still have a problem signing into MSN. I click sign in and nothing happens.
