Ever since I upgraded to IE6 and downloaded all of the
updates on Microsoft's site, my IE has been crazy. I
can't use Ebay or shop online - everything is fine until I
try to sign in or add something to my basket. On sites
where I used to be able to click on links, the links will
be inactive. I'm also having problems with cookies. For
instance, I can't sign into my Yahoo email account - keep
getting the message that my browser is rejecting the
cookies, even when I set privacy to the lowest setting or
override all cookie handling.

Please help!

Thanks in advance.

Well I'm glad it's not just me who can't log onto BT-
Yahoo or E-Bay without getting the "Your browser is not
accepting cookies message".
I have been through all the Security Settings, checked
the time & date, deleated the stored cookies & ran the
sfc/scannow programe etc..etc..
I can't delete my Cookies Folder (as suggested) as it
says it's part of windows & won't delete !
I have also looked at the recomendations with regard to
changing the registry, but the instructions only cover up
to IE5 !!
Any further ideas anyone ???
 
I'm having the same problem with IE6 & Win98 ebay help has been no help. I've tried all the suggestions to no avail. Help.
