No matter what I do, cookies are not being saved on my new Asus laptop. I pretty much have the same 3rd party utilities installed on my desktop and have no problem with cookies being saved on it. The main difference is I have Windows 7 Ultimate on my desktop on Windows 7 Professional (both full versions with clean installs) on my laptop. I have the same versions of Avast free AV, CCleaner, & Spybot on both PCs. The box for "Delete Browsing History on Exit" is unchecked.
Any ideas?

I think saving or not saving cookies is a function of your browser.
I use FireFox. Click on Tools - Options - Provacy and check the box that reads "Accept cookies from sites"
I also use Opera. Click on Tools - Preferences - Advanced - Select Cookies from the list on the left and put a dot next to "Accept Cookies"
I don't use I.E. (hate it) and have no idea how that browser handles cookies.

Forgot to mention I'm using IE8 on both. Maybe I'll try one of the other browsers just on laptop to see what happens.
Thanks

Try this (using I.E.)
Click on Help - Contents and Index. Click on Index tab.
Type in the Keyword to find 'cookies'
You should get a hit in the list that reads 'cookies, changing settings'
Click on that and read the 2,000 word explanation of what you can do and how you can do it to get your I.E. to accept cookies. Argh!

Thanks but I had other problems with my laptop and ended up having to reformat/reinstall Win 7. Cookies are being saved now. I must have inadvertently changed a setting with the previous installation.
I tried Firefox and I like it as a browser but the lack of a scroll bar for internet favorites is unacceptable.
