I'm having going into this site:
https://psaccess.uwaterloo.ca/servlets/iclientservlet/PSCECS/?cmd=login

It says my browser doesn't accept cookies, but it does. I know it does because I've gone to other sites that requires cookies and I got into those. I tried logging on the site on other computers and it worked, so I know it's my computer that's giving the problem.

I also ran a cookie test I found here:
http://www.bu.edu/htbin/computing/browsers/troubleshooting/cookietest.pl

It also says that my browser doesn't accept cookies. I tried it in Netscape and it says my browser DOES accept cookies.... but even in Netscape I can't access the site I mentioned earlier.

Any suggestions on what I should do?

BTW, I also tried Mozilla... same thing... so I think it's not the browser's problem... must have something to do with my Win XP. I've never had this problem before, it started just recently.

What are your privacy settings in tools>internet options>privacy? Do you have a firewall that has privacy options, and have you checked them? Have you tried deleting your cookies and starting from scatch? You will need to log into all your websites that you had to use passwords for, if you selected remember my password.

I tried all that... I even shut down my firewall and set it so it doesn't startup with Windows.

My privacy setting is at "Accept All Cookies" right now. And I have already deleted all my cookies.
