Help a dummy

[De Lorimier]

When you click on Computer Talk you see the words Geek and Dummy. I am the latter.
So I have a small problem and I would like some help from you geeks. Don't be mad at me, I'd love to be a computer geek, I'll probably take a class or two next year to solve my own problems in the future.

So, when I first received this computer I didn't know a lot and to be sure I didn't received anything I wouldn't want or be traced (sp?) I turned all cookies off. It worked perfectly for me as I didn't have any programs I didn't want and I didn't care. But now I can't vote on polls who use cookies (can live with that), I can't use HotMail (can live with that too, but my friends who come here would like to use it sometimes) and I have trouble with the new version of this great forum we all know and love.

I can't seem to stay logged in. After one or two minutes I have to enter my username and password again. If I stay around for an hour I can log in ten times.
I would like to be able to vote on polls, use HotMail and especially use the forum without these problems. Could somebody please help me?

Turn cookies back on and then you will be able to browse CFC without being logged out...

My bad, I forgot to write that I turned everything back the way it was when I first got this computer. All cookies are accepted and the security level is back where it was before I played with it.
Now, after everything is back like it first was, I still have troubles. That's where my knowledge stopped being usefull and I decided to post here.

Maybe you should empty the cookie bin and delete temp interet files?
