I am having administrator access problems with my site.
When using Chrome - the Admin section works properly. When using either IE8 or Firefox the Admin Log In page keeps popping back up each time I try to update something in the catalog.
Any Ideas? My Host "APPLIED INNOVATIONS" is trying to help as well.
MS IE 8 & FIREFOX Error Page - Chrome Works?

As far as I understand every time you try to do something the login session is lost so you are thrown back to login page.
Session works with cookies. Do you have some firewall or antivirus or working behind proxy, something must be deleting your cookies for IE8 and FF, but not for CHROME. I guess the problem is on you client, not server. Try to login from another location.

Thanks LevGe - Appreciate the advice.
I had someone else log in from across the country, with both IE8 and Chrome, and they received the same results (error message).
Another suggestion was to 'set a machinekey' in 'web.config' file (which I have to learn more about)
Any other thoughts...?

Machinekey is usually set manually when you have multiple servers, and the application jumps between them instead of sticking to the one webserver you were logged in. When the application jumps it is loosing session.
Anyway you can read more here http://sharemypoint.wordpress.com/2009/04/15/machinekey-in-webconfig/
and to generate machine key go here: http://www.developmentnow.com/articles/machinekey_generator.aspx use the asp.net 2 window
Another thought is that application pool gets reset every few minutes. This can happen because of overload on the Application pool in IIS. If you use shared hosting then multiple sites can use the same App pool , and then it's not your fault. You can ask your hosting provider to switch to another app pool.
And another thing that I ran into on some shared hosting is that session state is not InProc , but instead of it they use Session State server. also you have to ask your hosting provider which state server they use. If they use InProc then nopcommerce is already configured to it. if they use session state server then read here
