I am trying to access some sites and I am being told that my cookies are disabled and to enable them go to tools etc. I cannot find anything that sayswhere to enable cookies. Winxp home

Settings for cookies is found in the Internet Options folder.

Go to Tools (at top), Internet Options, and then Privacy (at top). Set to Medium, click apply and OK.

Hey Yall..hope you can help!
I tried the internet options and followed instructions..but to no avail.
the place I am trying to view is a chatroom.At the bottom it says done..when I move the mouse it then says "javaclient not found" what should I do to help me resole this issue? thanks in advance!

See if this works: Go to Tools, Internet Options, click Security (at top), click Custom Level. Look way down the list and see if Java is disabled. If it is, unclick and choose something else. Start with High Safety first. If that doesn't work, choose Medium. Click Apply and OK.

Hi Dixie and thanks for replying so quickly.
I followed your instructions and found that my java was enabled and I clicked on med security (it was on high security) Went to the site I (was speaking about) to try it out, but same thing is happening. telling me "javascript client not found"
Any more suggestions? Very much appreciated!

Marguerite, when you reach the security settings and scroll down to the bottom of the list ,make sure that "all three" boxes about "scriptings" are checked "enable".
If it doesn't work, you might want to try to download the latest version of JAVA, but first scan your pc for spyware and viruses.

Thanks Mozart!
I checked all the way down and found that "active script" "script of java applet" were enabled.
I recently had this computer crash on me and a restore was done.
Son added some security stuff on here.
Do you think it would be ok to download the link you put up for me?

First,what kind of browser are you using? Tell us about your server as well.(is it msn 9)?

To see whether your browser is configured to use the Java™ 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (JRE) or not, first open the Windows Control Panel. From the Start menu button, select Settings, then Control Panel to open the Control Panel. You should see the Java Coffee Cup logo™ icon in the Control Panel.

Double click the icon to open the "Java Control Panel"
In the "Java Control Panel", select the Browser Tab
Make sure the box next to Internet Explorer, Netscape, or Mozilla is checked
If it is not checked, click the checkbox to enable the JRE for your Web browser
Click the Apply button.
If you do not see the coffee cup icon in the Windows Control Panel, you do not have the latest version of the Sun JRE installed on your computer.

The Sun.com Java link is safe
On the Security Settings in IE, You can enter the sites name into the "trusted sites" section if that is of any use? This will aid logging on if the security is set against it displaying?
Following up on Mozarts suggestion downloading the Sun Java program is worth it because the original MS Java support is being run down (Had a big legal row about it)
Ps If you are on XP you may have to go into Add /Remove programs to change over the access
in the "Program access and defaults" section?
Labelled Microsoft Virtual Machine and retain access to the Old MS Program (single tick box)

Thanks Mozart and Bedstor!
I am using a compaq
win 98
Internet explorer
I went to control panel to lok for "coffee cup" and no icon.
When I tried to click on link for java..it is stating the cost of it.(think I clicked on sun java system.)
Am I looking for the right thing?
I know this question must sound like "duh" to everyone, but if you don't know how to do something,have to ask.(don't want to call my son) Thanks!

Click on GET IT NOW.
