ENABLE COOKIES

I have tried to enable cookies on my new laptop, which uses Internet Explorer
7, by following the instructions given on the Microsoft website, but it does
not work. Can anyone help me to get cookies working?

From IE7, try TOOLS, INTERNET OPTIONS, PRIVACY, ADVANCED. Then check
your choice.

IE Tools | Internet Options | Privacy:

=> Advanced | choose as desired

=> Sites | type domain in box (e.g., hotmail.com) then Allow cookies.

I am grateful for your help - I did follow your instructions exactly, but
each time I try to open the website for the 1911 cencus of the uk it still
tells me to 'enable cookies'. Have you any other suggestions?

Can you post the URL for the website in question, please?

Are you running Vista or Vista SP1 currently?

Was UAC enabled when you followed my instructions?

What anti-virus application or security suite is installed and is your
subscription current? What anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)?
What third-party firewall (if any)?

Has a Norton or McAfee application ever been installed on this machine
(e.g., a free-trial version that came preinstalled when you bought it)?

The website I am trying to enable is www.1911census.co.uk
When I type the address in I am told that I have enetered an invalid domain!?
I am running VistaOS Home Premium
Sorry about my ignorance, but what is UAC?
AVG 7.5 Internet Security and anti-spware is installed on my machine, with
Windows firewall and Defender

Thanks for trying to help me.

Are you running Vista or Vista SP1?

A1. You want to Allow cookies for "1911census.co.uk" (w/out the quotes; no
'www' prefix).

A3. Support for AVG 7.5 Internet Security is about to end. (Actually,
Grisoft has repeatedly extended the original 31 Dec-08 deadline so who knows
what the deadline is now?) Please contact AVG Support ASAP for instructions
on upgrading to AVG 8.x Internet Security.

Support for AVG Anti-Spyware ended in May-08.

You're welcome, Val. Good luck.
