I don't know what I changed recently, but IE7 started complaining that I'm
blocking cookies. I claim I'm not.

I stopped all antivirus and antispy software. Windows firewall is on.

I click the Sign In button on
http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/. This produces the
no-cookies complaint unless I set to accept all cookies. Even Low blocks
cookies.

On the Security tab in Internet Options, Internet is at Medium-high.

I'm using Firefox to enter this post. Its "Accept cookies from sites" is on.

Any thoughts on what I should look for?
(Windows XP Home SP2)

Hi,
In the case of microsoft sites, you may have to specifically allow cookies
from:
msn.com
live.com
passport.com
passport.net
microsoft.com
hotmail.com
It may help to clear any existing cookies from those sites.

Hope this helps,
