Windows XP Cookies problem

[threebytes]

Currently i have written a asp based message board by where it will login the user using cookies that will stored in their computer. i been receiving alot of complain from the user who 're using windows xp that they are not able to login.

i'm not sure what could be wrong with it probably is because of windows xp internet explorer. so the only thing i could tell them to do is change the privacy setting to low so that they are able to login. but the script seem to be work prefectly under win2k and below. ( ps i have upgrade my IE to 6.0.2800.1106 - win2k and i don't experience any problem with login. )

so i would like to know what could be wrong with it. i know here are not allow to promotion about their site ( in case i'm not though but in the sense of respecting the owner of the site i won't not post any link here so for those who like to see the message board i would private message you guys the link )

They might have their browsers set to not accept cookies. Personally, I would think about using session variables to prevent this problem.

Yes XP has very high cookie security.

// Yes XP has very high cookie security.

but i suppose that wasn't winxp problem and the real problem is on the IE?

// I would think about using session variables to prevent this problem.

which mean you not gonna use cookies at all? or you will have a mix in between that two? and is there any problem that would cost by the session? i would not really sure about asp session by where i been used with cookies already. so if i would like to use session how would the line look like ( i meant the coding )
