When I sign in...say on ebay for instance...i can look at one item then try
to look at another item and i have to sign in again...then if i go to another
item and..say...try to save it...i have to sign in again...and so on...i am
having to sign in sometimes in excess of 20 times a vist. I have set Cookies
to low. Now what do i do? I am on BT Broadband with a 2 wire unit. If you can
help please make as simple as possible as I am not an expert! Thanks.
 
Is your system clock set correctly? Disagreements between the server
and the browser about what time it is can cause cookies to time out
prematurely.

By default, XP will synchronise the system clock with time.windows.com
every week - this is usually frequently enough to avoid any
significant error unless your MoBo battery is on its last legs.

Right click on the clock on the taskbar, choose "Adjust Date/Time",
then click on the "Internet Time" tab. The "Automatically
synchronise...." box should be ticked and the text box should contain
the name of a valid time server. To force an update, click the 'Update
Now' button.

Also in the "Adjust Date/Time" applet, on the "Time Zone" tab, make
sure that your timezone is set correctly and that "Automatically
adjust clock for Daylight Saving time changes" is ticked.
