(Flash?) Cookies Problem

[Anythingwill]

Hello again,

I've got something of a cookie problem here. When i was trying to get onto Amazon.com i got a message
"Please Enable Cookies to Continue. To continue shopping at Amazon.com, please enable cookies in your Web browser."
I hadn't realized i had disabled them, and going to check i saw that i hadn't.

I had recently updated adobe though, and so i'm figuring it must be a flash cookie problem. MSN also isn't working now, once again i'm figuring a flash cookie problem.

This seems like, hopefully, a standard problem, but i couldn't find any information on it. Know what's going on?

I have no clue what flash cookies are, but saying Adobe, what Adobe product?

i'm not entirely sure, i figured it might have even just been a group thing...
i realise adobe has a lot of products, but since they do have a flash player and that involves flash cookies, and it started after i updated i figured it might be that

So, you just updated Adobe Flash Player, when it started to happen?
What browser are you using?

Sorry for the late reply, was waiting for e-mail notification and didn't get one
It was just an adobe update, if it updates the flash player then yea.
I'm just using IE7
It's getting really annoying, i'm now getting a bunch of security certificate mesages for websites i've never had a problem with before as well

Install Firefox to see, if same thing happens.

Try to completely remove flash player then reinstall it.

Use the Adobe Online Uninstaller to get rid of all remnants.

Then install a Fresh Version

Well, I went to check the date on my computer today and found out it was August 13th... obviously incorrect. So i fixed that, and then all the other problems went away.

Somehow that was connected with cookies?
A friend of mine gave me a pretty hard time about how common a problem that is, although of course he never suggested it.
So, i guess problem solved. Thanks for your help guys!
