Recently, cookies stopped working in both IE (8) and Firefox (3.6.3).When I log into any site and use the site's "keep me logged in" feature, everything's fine until I close the browser window. The next time I attempt to go to the site, I find it has logged me out. I've found that the cookies used to enable the feature are destroyed on every browser close/open. This makes no sense, as I've got the Internet Options set to NOT remove cookies when the browser is shut down...This is really frustrating. Anyone else seen this?Thanks... 1 person needs an answerI do too

Do you have a security software that delete temp on Exit?What happen if you set the browser to Remember the history and prolong the date to 90 days?Some cookies been created for one session and after that dies!Any new updates recently? nass -- http://www.nasstec.co.uk

>Do you have a security software that delete temp on Exit?No.>What happen if you set the browser to Remember the history and prolong the date to 90 days?Hm. Hadn't tried that one. But no, that doesn't change the behaviour either.>Some cookies been created for one session and after that dies!Sorry, I don't understand this statement.>Any new updates recently?No.Thanks for the help.

Hi Val,Internet Explorer on Windows XP doesn't save passwordhttp://weblogs.asp.net/owscott/archive/2004/07/15/Internet-Explorer-on-Windows-XP-doesn_2700_t-save-password.aspxTroubleshooting Login Cookieshttp://blogs.msdn.com/b/ieinternals/archive/2009/09/11/troubleshooting-stored-login-problems-in-ie.aspxAbout the cookies, the programmer who write the script for the site that control the cookiesTTL (Time To Live ), some make the session short and some make it last longer and doesn't expire quick as some!Here a snippet from a script, just as example:* @author Maxime Haineault (Email removed for privacy)/** Set a cookie * * @param integer key The token that will be used to retrieve the cookie * @param string value The string to be stored * @param integer ttl Time To Live (hours) * @param string path Path in which the cookie is effective, default is "/" (optional) * @param string domain Domain where the cookie is effective, default is window.location.host (optional) * @param boolean secure Use SSL or not, default false (optional) * * @return setted cookie */ Login cookie is not persistedRSS Feedhttp://forums.silverlight.net/forums/p/155822/348445.aspxLet us know what worked for you as this can help others with the same issue like yours! nass -- http://www.nasstec.co.uk

Thanks for the thread links. Unfortunately, I'd already been through those...Yes, I understand that the site authors control how long cookes last before they expire. The sites I'm using all allow ~30 days.The problem still appears to be that cookies are being deleted when the browser gets closed; this applies to all the cookies, with expiration dates ranging from a few minutes to a few years in the future...

Can you tell us what steps you taken/performed to avoid giving you the same fix again and concentrate on another way you didn't try?Did you install/remove any software/toolbar recently?Download IEFix, run it and reboot your machinehttp://windowsxp.mvps.org/IEFIX.htm Run the sfc /scannow to repair some of the system core files that may be damaged or corrupt. nass -- http://www.nasstec.co.uk

I've tried disabling some add-ons in IE. I've tried disabling all add-ons in IE.I've tried starting the computer in Safe Mode with Networking.I've tried clearing IE's/Firefox's caches.I had not installed/removed any software before the problem started.sfc /scannow is worthless because I can't find my original XP CD.IEFix won't download...I'm about out of ideas at this point.

Download the Hijackthis and send the report to one ofmany forums for analysis and troubleshooting or you can send it to me on my email provided at the bottom: HijackThis v2(http://www.trendsecure.com/portal/en-US/threat_analytics/hijackthis.php ) If you would like more help, you can send me the log here:Email removed for privacyRemove whatever (dot) to mail me.nass -- http://www.nasstec.co.uk

I finally managed to download IEFix and run it. I got the following error: Run-time error '-2147024770 (8007007e)': Automation error The specified module could not be found.I'd email the HijackThis log, but MS is preventing you from giving out your email address, apparently... ;)

I had the same problem. Hope you fixed you problem by now but, for anyone looking for help. Check your date and time to see if its correct. I found when i went to system restore it was the wrong date. I fixed it and cookies work again. Hope this helps anyone looking for possible answers. : )
