   Is your Java up to date on any of those browsers? That's what sounds like your problems. Sometimes, if a site gives you a message like "browser can't set script's cookies" (or something like that) the problem's not with cookies but that Java is not running properly. As much as people hate Java, some sites won't run well if you're not up to date. The current version is 6.17. That's what I would suspect since you said it's an older system. Other people have fixed problems with GOTD by updating their Java.

   The only other thing is that maybe your security privileges are set too high, but I doubt that would be true of all 3 browsers.

   Well, any XP that has SP1 or later installed has Microsoft's version of the Java Virtual Machine installed. The debate is whether you need to use Sun's Virtual Machine and continue to get Java updates or whether the Microsoft Virtual Machine can continue to handle all the script's it could possibly see, forever. Some people insist this is the case, but I have my doubts. But, if this machine predates SP1, then incompatibility with current Java could still be the problem. A few types of cookies are set by scripts.

   Hi Hotdoge3, have you contacted the Admin folks (via GOTD's contact form)? Maybe they can give you helpful feedback on how to solve the problem.
