    Hi Guys,

    I have just got my new M17x and have done a clean install and now I have a really weird problem with Internet Exporer not accepting cookies. I have set the IE explorer privacy setting to accept all cookies but still it will not accept any. I have installed McAfee Security Centre and MS Office 2010 but that is just about all. Has anyone else got this problem?

    Don't use IE9, while its way quicker and streamlined than other IE version's, its still prone to crashes and buggyness (being BETA of course)

    I tried everything but eventually did a reinstall of windows and presto... no more problems.

    IE9 is still a bit buggy. Gave me widgets problems so I removed it. My issues also required a repair install of windows, so my suggestion is to steer clear of the beta for a bit longer unless you don't mind reinstalling windows.
