A cookie is a file that is placed on your computer by a web site so it can store information such as your password for the site, last time you visited, or if you have purchased something from that site.
I am guessing that you are getting an error saying the cookies are disabled. You can enable them in Internet Explorer 6 by:
Click on the Tools menu, and selecting Internet Options
Click on the Privacy Tab
Lower the security settings to Medium by sliding the little bar down

Cookies are pieces of information generated by a Web server and stored in the user's computer, ready for future access. Cookies are embedded in the HTML information flowing back and forth between the user's computer and the servers. Cookies were implemented to allow user-side customization of Web information. For example, cookies are used to personalize Web search engines, to allow users to participate in WWW-wide contests (but only once!), and to store shopping lists of items a user has selected while browsing through a virtual shopping mall.
Essentially, cookies make use of user-specific information transmitted by the Web server onto the user's computer so that the information might be available for later access by itself or other servers. In most cases, not only does the storage of personal information into a cookie go unnoticed, so does access to it. Web servers automatically gain access to relevant cookies whenever the user establishes a connection to them, usually in the form of Web requests.

Cookies are nothing more than a small information file that is stored locally on your computer which retains a history of a website you have visited and additional information as deemed by the creator.

To get to "cookies" thorough windows XP, right click on the start meun, and go to explore. There will be a cookies folder under Local disk- Documents and Settings-Your Name. It's best to right click on each cookie and delete it to keep your computer up to speed. Note- do NOT delete the "index" in your cookies folder.
