<While I am not going to do Microsoft's testing for them, it is my understanding that there is a problem with the cookies file. "Without the proper patch, cookies that use a two-digit year value of 00 are considered to be expired."> I honestly don't understand all of this cookies and internet programming stuff. But, last year I did the Y2K shut-down test on my computer and forgot to change back date. I couldn't access my trading account!!! A screen I never saw and message came about something having "expired". Can't remember details now. Really freaked me out. Finally figured out, and remembered, about making that date change. Changed date and got back in. But, I was sure worried for a while. Cheryl
