CF8 won't accept PWD

I have installed CF8 on WinXP Pro after carefully removing traces of CF7 and earlier installs of CF8. I get the Administrator login page in IE. When I enter the PWD I entered during install, the page simply reloads. The Username is admin (in gray). If I enter a different (wrong) PWD, I get an invalid entry response. Using the correct PWD only gets me a reload. What is going on? How do I fix this?

Thanks for any help you can give.

Correct answer Peterc0527
Disabling ZoneAlarm and my anit-virus software did the trick. There ought to be something in the Install dialogs to alert users to this need.

I did this before uninstalling the previous installation and got a pretty clean uninstall, only the Verity files were left.

Thanks to all who helped with this.

check the worker threads setting in the IIS app pool used by the CF site (usually the default site). If it is higher than 1, it can cause some strange behaviours with page loads.

We had a similar issue with our webmail service on IIS and as soon as we changed the worker threads back to 1 it was fine.

I have cookies enabled for localhost in Firefox, IE and ZoneAlarm. I have set the IIS applications setting to Low (IIS Process). I don't know zip about worker threads, but I'll try that if you'll tell me how to get to the app pool.

Thanks for everyone's help so far

I'm using IIS at 127.0.0.1:8100. The behavior is essentially the same in both IE and Firefox. When I enter the correct PWD, the login screen refreshes. If I enter a "wrong" PWD, I get the "invalid password" message.

Any Ideas?
