I am using XP and IE8 with no problems for months. Now suddenly when I try
to log on Google.groups I get the following message.

(your browser's cookie functionality is turned off.) They then suggest
clearing cookies.

I rechecked my cookie settings which are still set to accept first party,
prompt for third party, always allow session cookies. cleared and reset.

I have deleted the browser history - temporary internet files - cookies
and then verified via temp and history settings - view files - that there
were no Google text files as suggested on a MS site for similar problem.



Strangely I do receive prompts to accept cookies from sites other than
Google groups.

Help;; I am at a loss.

It was something not suggested Somehow it was marked as do not accept in
the cookies file, no idea of how that got changed.
Thanks
