Has anyone who has the same combination of software I have had success 
shopping on Amazon.com recently?

It is telling me i have to enable cookies - but not only are the cookies 
enabled, amazon.com cookies are listed in my cookie list.

I have tried the work around they suggest:

### workaround quote ####

I have cookies enabled, and I'm still getting error messages! What can I 
do?

If you have enabled cookies in your browser and are still having trouble 
adding items to your cart or completing a purchase, try signing in through 
the "Sign in to get personalized recommendations" link on our home page 
before adding items to your cart or checking out. In most cases, signing 
in first should solve the problem.
###end work around quote ###

but the site is still asking me to enable cookies.

as far as I can tell I cannot send them a "help me" message unless I am 
logged in and I cannot log in without it recognigizing my browser.

grrrrrr!!!!!
