I've just acquired a brand new desktop computer at home and I have an odd problem as it will not log on to certain websites which require a username and password.

For example, if I try to log on to internet banking or yahoo webmail (using internet Explorer), the page just re-directs me back to the log in page again with the details I've entered cleared off.

However, if I try and log in to pprune, it works OK!

:ugh:

I can log on fine to both internet banking and yahoo mail if I use another computer. I suspect the answer is a simple one, but I'm blowed if I can figure it out!

Any help would be gratefully received.

Check your 'cookie' settings - it may be that you have limited cookie action with PPRune enabled?

Go to 'Tools'/'Internet Options'/'Privacy'/'Advanced' and tell us what is set ie ticked.

PPRune AND banking sites all require cookies enabled.
