I don't know why but all of a sudden some sites are telling me that my cookies need to be enabled. What would have caused this all of a sudden today and where do I go to fix it? I am somewhat computer challenged so speak slowly and in english please! :)) I already went to tools, internet options, advanced options and looked under there but I don't see anything that says enable cookies. This just happened out of the blue, unless my daughter did something today to cause this! I don't know. Thanks in advance for your help! <3

You were on the right track, just pointed in the wrong direction. This is what you should do: Go to "Tools", then "Internet Options", now the "Privacy" tab (probably the 3rd one from the left). At which point, that slider bar will choose the security level for your cookies. It's up to you at this point what you choose. I have mine set for medium and I'm just fine. Good luck.
That's already set to medium. I looked under another advanced tab and its saying allow all cookies, yet when I go to a particular website it says I need to enable cookies. Is this making any sense?

Perfect sense. My laptop at home has "allow all cookies" because I'm not worried about anything on that laptop. My PC @ work is set to medium because our IT Support has told everyone to set it at that (truth be told, I know more about computer crap then he does). You're safe to set it at "all all cookies" if you're confident in your anti-virus software.
