Please can someone end my mizzery and tell me how to enable my cookies. I have loaded my web browser gone to tools, internet options, and then tryed looking for an option to let me. I have had this prob before and I know it can be done.

Im running windows 2000 professional and have internet explorer, i think its version 6 but could be 5.5. Ive also tryed online help with microsoft and there help is also no good. I think I need to get to the menu that alows me to move the sliders up or down to alter the level of internet security but I carnt find the sliders!"!! If that makes any sense.

Any help would be most appreciated.

Thanks.

 

Go to help, then About Internet Explorer.

That will tell you the version.

I cant say ive had problems because ive the same OS and browser.

Sorry

Si

 

Open Internet Explorer
Go to Tools
Go to Options
Go to Privicy tab

You should see an image similar to this :-



Adjust the slider as needed.

Click Ok to confirm

 

I have that menu up but no privacy tab is available. Other than that its exactly the same!!!

 

im using internet explorer 5.5

 

Is this a work PC?

 

No its my own and im logged on as administrator. There just isnt a privacy tab in the same option.

 

try upgrading to IE6

its on Windows update and only 11mb's

Could solve the problem

Thanks Ian for the advise I wish I got it about 2 hours ago. Ive just upgraded to IE6. I didnt think I needed to.

Thanks to everyone else.

 

Don't bother upgrading to IE6, that isn't solving your problem. FFS Si, if you can't add anything useful, maybe don't bother ?

1. In IE5.5, go to Tools | Internet Options.
2. Select the Security tab (you won't have a Privacy tab).
3. Move your slider to where you want it, then click the Custom Level button on the Security tab.
4. A new dialog called Security Settings will appear with a list of items. Part way down is a list of options to do with cookies. Adjust and apply etc.

Cheers

Ian
