Laplink's My Support system uses web-browser cookies to store your login information. When the correct login credentials return you to the login screen repeatedly, that can indicate a cookie problem. Here are instructions for correcting such a problem: |
1. |
Ensure that your browser can accept cookies |
|
Your web browser settings control the acceptance of cookies. Be sure to configure it to allow cookies. You can do this in Internet Explorer from Tools -> Internet Options, privacy tab. If you are behind a firewall, make sure the firewall allows cookies as well. |
2. |
Clear out any existing cookies, which may have become corrupted |
|
You can do this in Internet Explorer from Tools -> Internet Options, general tab. There is a button there to 'Delete Cookies'. (Warning: This will delete cookies used by other websites as well, and cookies can be helpful for storing your web-surfing preferences. Cookies are re-created automatically when visiting the parent website, however.) |
3. |
...or delete only your existing Laplink cookies |
|
a) In Windows go to Start -> Search -> For Files or Folders |
|
b) Search your local harddrive(s) for @www.laplink |
|
c) If a .txt file shows up, it's a laplink cookie and should be deleted. |
|
d) Close and restart all browser windows |
4. |
Try the login again |
