Sudden Cookie problem is .aspx page

Cookie problem in .aspx application.

I have a cookie problem that makes no sense. I get this error when the page
loads:

Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

I am reading the cookie into a var with standard code.

Where the problem makes no sense is that this application sits on my
network, and all
other machines load the page fine. As has the page loaded on all machines
fine since the application
has been in development. Only now, there seems to be a problem.

The other machines are running XP Pro and Windows 2000 Pro, respectfully.
The machine that throws the error is running XP.

All machines have been updated regularly.

Does any know what in the world could be happening with the XP machine for
it never loads the cookie when the page is requested? (note, no privacy
changes have been made to the browser on the XP machine and the machine is
virus free)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sudden VS2003 Error

I was going along just fine developing an ASP.NET application using IIS on
my own machine. I had to reboot. When I came back, VS started acting
flakey. It would not reload my project claiming that it could not connect
to the url on my machine (something like http://localhost/myApplication).
"A connection with the server could not be established"
I tried this:
1) backed up all files
2) deleted the project folder from wwwroot
3) created a new web application in visual studio using the same name
4) copied all the source code files (no project or solution) into that
folder and added them to the new project
Worked fine at first and built just fine, but when I exited VS and came back
it would no longer load either.
Caveat 1: When I rebooted I changed my network password, but I don't expect
this should matter in any way.
Caveat 2: I am running McAfee Anti-Virus (required by the site whose machine
this actually is).
Tried to google the error for a solution, but nothing seems to fix it.
Any takers?Hi
There are known problems with McAfee and VS.NET.
If you are forced to use McAfee make sure the "buffer overload" option
is off.
Good luck.

Dan,
I'll disable it, but can you tell me what effect it had on you, or how you
figured out that it was the problem?
