Cookies IIS and XP

[branton ellerbee]

Recently, I have had a problem in an XP machine not being able to store
cookies from an XP Pro machine hosting a web application.



Has anyone come across this problem?



What is happening is that I am receiving this error when it tries to read
the cookie:



Object reference not set to an instance of an object.



Code:



lblUser.text = request.Cookies("sminkbo")("uname")



When I look in the cookies folder for my account, there is no cookie there.
Interestingly enough, the session cookie does appear to be set, as well as,
if I view the application via my network on any other machine not running
XP, the cookie sets and the application works fine.



There have been no changes to the privacy policy on the XP machine's browser
or virus/spy ware downloaded.

This problem began to happen this week after I downloaded the latest
Microsoft Updates.
