session variable blocked at desktop

[b1boogie]

I'm sure this has been covered, but I didn't see it in the archives.
I have some desktops not recognizing session variables and causing the script
to stop. It seems that on one desktop, I opened .cfm in norton AV and it
helped. Another desktop has no antivirus or other filters, but does have xp
firewall. I turned off the firewall and still when I get to the first session
variable, I get an error message.
This has happend at two different sites.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Are session variables being saved as cookies?

I'm not telling it not to.
If it is cookies, and we're using IE, how do we allow them?
How do I get around this problem for new users?

Thanks.
