IE7 Login Error
No mater what i do to the variables i keep getting this error: Login error: uses cookies to log in users. You have cookies disabled. Please enable them and try again.

I am using version 1.12.0. It may be also helpful to note that for some reason ie7 does not appear to be using css.

The url used to get to the wiki is on the internal intranet and looks like this: http://server which redirects to look like http://server/index.php?title=Special:Userlogin does not having a .com have an effect. Any help please!!!
 * I'd be ok with not using ie7 but i can't get firefox to open local file links.

Solved
Found this out today! The problem was not enough security rights were given to the PHP\sessiondata and PHP\uploadtemp folders. I guess this is where it stores all cookie information. These folders were created during the php install as per Installing_MediaWiki_on_Windows_Server_2003 page.
