I was trying to log in to an online sofeware program. I entered my friend's password(to use site) and got message;

"HTTP COOKIES REQUIRED"
turn cookies on and try again.


How and where to I go to "turn on cookies"? Your speedy answer to my computer dummy question would be appreciated.

You need to tell us which browser you are using, since each handles turning on, and off, cookies differently. You can also check it's Help file which may provide the information you need.
