Browser won't remember me

[Gary W. Plourde Sr.]

My Internet Explorer Browser, version #6, keeps locking me out of various
web pages. For example, my home page at www.excite.com, I've gone into
tools, Internet Options, (particularly) Privacy, but I can't stop the
browser from stopping my HomePage: Excite.com. I know it's considered a
bad page, but, at this point, it has all my info. The browser allows me to
access www.excite.com, but it won't let me sign-in, which requires another
excite page for my scene name and password. When I try, I receive a page
that says:

When I try, I receive a page that says:




The browser you're using is not allowing you to sign in to Excite.

Right now, your browser's settings are configured to disable cookies and/or
javascript. In order to access your account, you must change your browser's
settings to accept both cookies AND javascript.

NOTE: You will also receive this error if you computer system time is off by
more than a few hours, or is set to an incorrect day or year. To check your
system time on your computer, please double-click the date and time in the
bottom right of your screen, and confirm it is set correctly.

How do I change my browser settings?
This depends on the browser you're using. If you are getting a message
asking if you want to accept cookies, choose Yes. Otherwise, we recommend
that you click the "Help" button at the top of your browser in order to
learn how to properly accept cookies and javascript. (You'll most likely be
able to enable these settings by locating the Security and/or Privacy tabs
found within "Internet Options" in your browser's "Tools" pull-down window.)

Tip: If you are using the same browser that came installed on your computer
when you bought it - and if you've owned your computer for a couple of
years - we recommend that you download the latest version. Internet Explorer
users, click here. Netscape users, click here.
Tried everything and still can't sign in? It could be due to one of these
issues:


Your computer's clock may be set ahead 10 years or more. Your clock may be
showing the correct time of day, but is it set to the right year? Believe it
or not, this has prevented some Excite users from being able to sign in.


Your computer's hard drive (C:, most likely) has low disk space. If your
computer's operating system uses Windows, and if your hard drive is nearly
full, this may prevent you from being able to sign in to your account. You
may want to delete some old files or move a number of your files to another
drive on your computer.


Your computer/computer's network is using security software or a firewall
that prevents you from signing in. Some security software and firewalls use
settings that make it impossible to sign in to an Excite email account.
These settings can be changed, so please check with your network
administrator or call the security software maker if you believe this may be
true in your case.

How can I avoid this problem until I can set up another page, such as
Yahoo? Even to come here, now, I must Login everytime, even though I put a
bullet in the "remember me" white space. Everytime I leave or shut-down my
web-site, the computer the browsers starts all over again.

Hi Gary

As you did not post the version of Windows or IE you are using, I can only
make a general guess. You might try the following and see if it helps:

You can test Javascript here:

and.........

Where to get the JAVA VM
http://www.microsoft.com/mscorp/java/?gssnb=1

Download the Microsoft Java VM for Windows XP here

You can try updating your scripting engine. The latest scripting engine can
be found at:
