Can't stay logged in (IE/Win2000)

Some of the computers I use run Windows 2000 and Internet Explorer.

Occasionally using this browser combo, I keep getting logged out when trying to write private messages or replying to posts. When I log in again and try to reply, it logs me out and I can't stay logged in unless I reboot.

Any solution? (aside from using another browser, which isn't an option as these computers aren't my own)

Sounds like a cookie problem, so clearing the cookies is the best solution available.

And if reseting your cookies as outlined above is not helping, do you have a SpyWare program running that might be deleting FlyerTalk's login cookies almost as soon as you get them?

I had a similar problem with AdAware some time ago, where it was deleting my American Airlines login cookie. They eventually removed aa.com from their bad boy list and I no longer have that problem.

Getting Kicked Off

RE: EARLIER RESPONSE.

* MS05-002

- http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sec.../MS05-002.mspx
- Reason for re-release: After the release of the MS05-002
security bulletin, Microsoft became aware of an issue affecting
customers deploying the Windows 98, 98SE and ME security update.
In most cases, the issue caused machines to unexpectedly
restart. Microsoft has investigated this issue and has made
available revised security updates for these platforms. These
revised security updates are available from Windows Update and
the Microsoft Download Center. Customers who have not yet
applied the original version of these updates should visit
Windows Update to receive the revised updates. Customers who
have already applied the original Windows 98, 98SE and ME
security update are advised to install the current revision of
the update from Windows Update.

Thanks everyone. I'll try clearing cookies next time I run into this problem.
