dump your cookies and clear your cache and then restart your browser

works most of the time

Hi rysolag,

Same thing happening to me. Also the last 3 days.
I came into this forum with the intent of opening a thread asking for help then I saw this one.

Now I've given the same advice as Khensu a million times to solve weird Windows issues - it usually works.

However, personally I really hate dumping my own cookies. Invariably, I lose some logins to online newspapers and forums that have long forgotten passwords and also certain preferences, my bank doesn't know me anymore, etc.

So I delete cookies selectively. Following Khensu's advice I went into my Windows/cookies folder (as opposed do doing it within the browser) and searched for any with "adsense" in the name. This turned up 10 cookies which I deleted and was then able to get into AdSense.

Perhaps when 10 cookies for AdSense are present it hangs Adsense?

I'll add that the first time it didn't work (browser was closed while I was deleting, FWIW). Then I took another look and a new cookie had been written. Deleted that, opened the browser again and I was able to login.

In any case, thanks folks, I'm in. Hope you get there too.

I had same problem and switched to firefox from ie, no problem now. In IE, now also it works only if I clear cookies
