I use xp pro on IE 8 and have been getting some error messages regarding cookies. My cookies are set at allow for both 1st and 3rd parties. I get the following error any way. How can I access those sites that give me that message?

Too little detail.

My bet is that it's more than XP Pro installed. I'd like to read it's XP Pro w/SP3 and then I'd like to read about the security suite and if you tried it on another user account on the machine.

I'm not sure I understand your reply. My version of XP includes SP3. I use AVG Internet Suite. My problem occurs infrequently, maybe Once a week. My computer, otherwise, works perfectly and I keep it well tuned. I am the only user of this computer.

Then it's a mystery.

While I use a second user account to diagnose and test this issue you will encounter folk with the "I'm the only user" response. I don't have a good answer for those except to warn them that a Windows XP machine with only one account is too dangerous. For example, recovery from the old "corrupt profile" issue is trivial with a spare admin account. No spare account and we are looking at reloading the OS!

If you allowed AVG to install their web addon, then you ask them why it does that. That addon is dismissed here. Your choice.

This is only one of some 100 thousand posts about the issue. I had hoped for more detail and shared 2 other items such as testing on some other user account but it is a well known problem. What's not well known is a cure that works for all folk.

I suggest you try another account, another browser and consider if the browser addons are worth the trouble.

Well, this is getting too much for me. I'll just not got to those sites that make it too complicated to enter which is getting worse all the time. This latest episode was attempting to go to a Yahoo forum and I don't like Yahoo anyway. The benefit does not out weigh the effort. I know that most of this is for security and to prevent the bad guys from screwing up the site buyt since the problem happens so seldom, I can get along without it.

Thanks for the attempt to help anyway. Adios
