Yahoo Mail Cycles At Sign-In

Hey guys,

Everytime I enter my username and password to access Yahoo Mail, it just repeatedly cycles back to the login screen. No matter how times I enter the info, I cannot access my mail unless I click "sign in as a different user" and THEN enter my info. Clearly, this would appear to be a cookie issue, but what can I do about it?

I just recently did a clean install of windows, but this problem still occurs when I try to access my mail. It's not a big deal, but certainly annoying, and I was wondering if you had any thoughts.

Thanks,
Dave

Tried that with no luck. What else could it be?

Spy-ware?

if you're using Internet Explorer, try another (decent) browser... like Mozilla.

Yeah, it must be something strange with the way the cookie is being created. I don't have problems on any other computer accessing my mail. I thought that a clean install of Windows would remedy the problem, which also provides for the possibility that it's something on Yahoo's side. I appreciate your help and suggestions.

Have your security settings been set too high for your cookies on accident. I know sites like hotmail have to have cookie security on Medium Low in order to work im pretty sure. At least, thats where i keep it.
