Privacy/Cookie Problems

[Nick]

Hi, I have noticed that on some computers running IE 6
they will not load certain frames/pages. The operating
systems being run is XP.

When the site does not load and errors occur the privacy
icon in the status bar shows up and if you double click it
it shows that all the cookies have been blocked. A way
around this is to reduce the privacy setting in the
options form medium to low. However, people cannot tell
their users to reduce there privacy.

Anyone know why this occurs???

Thanks

Nick,
Could be several things ........
Certain Firewalls will do this when the settings are too aggressive.
3rd party Cookie Managers, corrupt Cookie folder, etc.
