Hi Richard :)

Try the following information as it may apply to your OS or problem and see
if helps:

You should log on using a different administrator account to the one
affected
by the problem. Your 'unable to download cookies' error points to a
corruption with the cookie folder preventing an uncorrupted export.

If one folder is corrupt the chances are the other is or
will be. So export your cookies, and nuke both folders.

Try setting *all* options in Security and Privacy to 'Default'

and.

Try disabling any firewall until cookies are working correctly. Make
certain your time, date, and time *zone* settings are all correct.

Select a Privacy setting other than "Accept all" or "Block all" should allow
you to use the Edit button on selectd sites to accept or block cookies.

Also, If you have AdAware ro SpyBot installed, and you have your Privacy
setting at Low,
when AdAwrae or SpyBot flags a tracking cookie you can add the site to the
Blocked list as well.

Hi,
Jan's post was very comprehensive... but, just to repeat...
* Make sure that your computer's clock is set to the correct time and time
zone.
* Look through settings of *all* third-party security/privacy programs to
see if one of them is blocking cookies. Many programs have this feature.
* Internet Options> Privacy, set the slider to Accept All, as a test.
* Go to your Cookies folder and delete any cookies from sites which are
reporting this problem.

Hope this helps,
