Hammer Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Hi all , I have resentlly come across a problem were i no longer remain logged into web sites, for years i have been logged in to GRnet, only having to log on if i have cleared all my cookies, I do the same with a few other site im regestered on. But over the last few weeks i have had to log on every time i visit even though the box is ticked to keep me logged in. On one web site i can log in to the main page ok , but then if i go to the forum page or gallery page etc im logged out again ? I have done a full disc clean and a defrag. I have done a regestry scan and also done a security scan with Est. I have also done a system restore, but the problem persists. The only other thing im seeing that does not look right is when i click on the IE icon i get the message saying that IE8 closed unexpectadly and do i want to restore my last session or just go to my home page ? As far as i can tell when i quite IE8 it closes normally ? Am i looking at full re-install or am i missing something ? Windows 7 Pro, Intel i7 Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wombat50 Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 If I don't add gr.net as an exception in CrapCleaner it will delete my cookies. Can't speak to the IE8 issue as I'm using FireFox. That does seem odd though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 IE sounds corrupt. Run a repair if you can, or use FF, opera or Chrome to confirm the issue is just with IE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeanMF Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Also check your Privacy Settings in Internet Explorer (Tools/Internet Options, Privacy tab). If it's set higher than medium-high then you will have problems on a lot of sites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammer Posted August 26, 2010 Author Share Posted August 26, 2010 Seems its more W7 related than settings, just checked my Admin Tools/ Event panel and found 260 errors in the last 7 days all the same !! "Failed extract of third-party root list from auto update cab at: <http://www.download.windowsupdate.com/msdownload/update/v3/static/trustedr/en/authrootstl.cab> with error: A required certificate is not within its validity period when verifying against the current system clock or the timestamp in the signed file." Dont know what that means but i got a feeling its got something to do with my problem. When you go to the on-line help you get this " .Results for: Microsoft Product: Windows Operating System; Version: 6.1.7600.16385; Event ID: 4107; Event Source: Microsoft-Windows-CAPI2; No results were found for your query. Please see Search Help for suggestions." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeanMF Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 (edited) I'm not sure what's causing that error, but I don't think it would lead to the problems you're seeing. The "third-party root list" has to do with SSL certificates that are used for https browsing and a few other things. It sounds like it's having trouble updating the list. The issue with web sites is that your cookies aren't being saved after you're logged in. EDIT: Actually there is one thing I can think of that could be causing both problems.. Is your system date & time set correctly? Edited August 26, 2010 by MeanMF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
