Http/1.1 Internal Server Error

Dear All,

There may be a prize for solving this one; at the very least the provider of the solution will have the comforting thought that they will have saved my sanity.

So, here goes...

I get this message - Http/1.1 Internal Server Error - on the Ebay site but only in specific situations.

Basically the front page will happily load, and I can do a search. However, if I try to narrow the search (say by limiting the distance, selecting a subcategory, etc) I'll get the above message. I can't sign in either as I get part way through the process before I the same message makes its appearance.

If I delete my cookies I'm able to view the listings pages (though not sign in). The fix though is only temporary - every new page needs a new clean.

This is a recent 'feature' that Windows has developed and I'm suffering in both IE and Firefox.

I don't think that this is a problem at Ebay's end. I think I've jodded something up, perhaps somewhere in that impenetrable registry. I suspect perhaps a McAfee update or something similar.

All thoughts welcome.

Yours,
