Unsure(Last resort)

Hello,

I am writing to you from my friends computer. My problem is something strange. I have tried to fix it myself but maybe you will have some in site. When I am on my Windows 1999(HP) computer, it will not let me log into /any/ proboards site.

What I mean is, I enter my password and everything is good. It is the right password but, It logs in but says I am still a guest at the top were it says:

'Hey, perfectpiaffe, you have 0 messages, 0 are new.
Dec 22, 2005, 8:13pm'

Instead of that I would just think I am a guest. But the catch is is that on the bottom were it says that you are logged on, it says that I am on. But truly I am still a guest. Yes, I have tried /everything/ That i could think of. I changed the security, I changed the Internet settings.

My computer used to work fine, it only happened this month(December 2005) just after my dad installed system mechanic and began to clean up the computer. So here is the point.

HELP ME PLEASE!!

Thanks

P.S. I have deleted all cookies and well, Still dosen't work. Maybe someone has had this happen before?

Please note it only Happens with Proboard froums

Well, It's just I have done everything and this was my last resort. I have deleted all cookies and temp files on my computer too. I just am so MAD right now at the computer. I have run out of options..

uninstall the system machanic software and see if that helps

This is more of a possible cookie issue im sure.. I have seen it done and had a member that had the same problem..
The first thing you can try is reading through the pb FAQ and see if they have anything on enabling/disabling cookies.. (they will give you steps to follow)
If that doesnt work, -- is it possible that you still have the orginal email that was sent to you from pb when you first created your board?
If you have it,.. open it up (the proboards email) - it will have a url that you can click on, use that to open your board.. then fill in the blank boxes with user name "admin" and your given password.. (use all that info within that email) and see if that helps

Done that. But this computer has System Mechanic.... So I don't know what happened. Maybe I just need a new computer. but this isn't helping much -Mumbles- I guess I will have to ,live off other peoples computers.... -Sighs- Sorry for bothering you I guess.

Kay Janelle I will try that. -crosses fingers- HOPE IT WORKS

Keep your head up.. Im sure that we will help you get it fixed.. - I dont think it has anything to do with your computer.. some of my members had the exact problem on a newer computer as well.
If none of the above works.. you may want to get in touch with one of the pb admins/mods maybe they will have some other suggestions for you too try.. Good Luck

I am not familiar with the software, its possible it also blocks cookies or changes additional settings.

If you cannot solve the problems with the browser (you say you have checked the security settings etc, so i see no need to suggest that) you could always try a differnt browser such as Firefox, this is less connected to the system like IE is and runs more independantly
