Hi bhome83,

In IE, go to Tools > Internet Options > Privacy (tab) and click the Default button. Set all the Security Levels (in the Security tab) to their Default Levels as well. That should prevent any cookies from being blocked.

they were all already set to default. im still getting lots of pics. not showing up. everytime i go to msn.com there are two ads that never show up. this also happens on many other sites like espn.com. even turned off zonealarm but that didn't help. this is really frusturating and not sure what is causing this.

Hi bhome83

In IE try going to Tools > Internet Options - click on Privacy & click on advanced. There should be a checkbox to "override automatic cookie handling". If that's checked, you can uncheck it to stop blocking the coookies. Then, on the same tab (Privacy), at the bottom, under "web sites" click on the "edit" button & then "remove all". That will remove the list of blocked sites.

that was already set for me. not sure what is going on. i do notice though that some websites (particularily the ones that i have to login to) load alot faster when my firewall is off. I need my firewall on though. i have zonealarm pro version 3.5.166.
