    Not sure where best to ask this, so thought I'd start here.

    I have two desktop PC's and a notebook PC.

    Late last night I could log in to Netflix but couldn't stream anything to any PC.

    Now today, from my main desktop I use for multimedia stuff, I can't log in to Netflix from IE. When I go to log in it just kicks me back to the log in screen. No error, no nothing. I use Chrome and it works fine. It works fine in IE from my other two PC's as well.

    I cleared my IE cache and cookies, and even did a registry sweep with CCleaner and ran Glary Utilities, and rebooted. Still does the same darn thing. What the heck could be causing this?

    Nevermind. I added Netflix to the Trusted Sites list, shut down IE, and started up, still didn't work, took it back off trusted sites list, shut down IE and started up, now its ok. Don't know what the heck it was, but changing settings back and forth seemed to fix it.

    When I log out on Firefox I actually had to reset my password to log back in with it...weird

    There is an issue with IE9 and any sites that use flash. This may be what you are experiencing, try another browser?
