Windows XP. pretty sure its IE7.

after trying to login in, the screen to the site will re-fresh as if I had
never even attempted to sign in

1. Does this behavior persist if you start IE7 in No Add-ons mode? To start
IE7 in No Add-ons mode:

3. If you uninstall (a) IE7 *exactly* per the link below (which

Windows Themes (including Window Blinds) and do NOT reinstall IE7, does this
behavior persist? If it does, do NOT reinstall IE7.

Tip: Save the installer to your desktop, do not Run it.

5. Make *certain* that you check in at Windows Update immediately after
reinstalling IE7 to install any critical updates offered. If Optional
Updates category offers Root Certificates update, I recommend installing it
to take full advantage of IE7's additional security.

okay. so I followed the first recommended option, and yes, this does seem to
be working for most of my login problems. the exceptions are sites like
youtube and imdb.

after RIES, I am still experiencing the same problem with those sites, and
ironically, I was experiencing a similar problem loging back into this one!
ha! I was afraid that was going to happen.

due to the selective nature of this problem, I'd rather not uninstall IE7.
are there any other alternatives? and if it is absolutely necessary, are
there significant performance differences between IE6 & 7? thanks!

Uninstalling IE7 will harm nothing. If the behavior does not persist after
returning to IE6, this would suggest that you had a "horked" install of IE7
for whatever reason.

HOW TO Properly Uninstall IE7
http://www.ie-vista.com/kbase2.html

[Only use the Command %windir%\ie7\spuninst\spuninst.exe if you cannot
uninstall 'WIndows Internet Explorer 7' via Add/Remove Programs; it's safe
to ignore any warnings that such-and-such might not work if you uninstall
it.]

Again, if the behavior persists in IE6, don't reinstall IE7 yet, despite its
enhanced security.
