PHP sessions must be setup correctly for cookies/logins to work. Session support is enabled in PHP by default.
Check phpinfo() it should have a section like this:

session
Session Support enabled
Registered save handlers files user

Also, when your browser accepted a cookie from the server under "Variables" _SERVER["HTTP_COOKIE"] will be set.

Look here for more info.

This is what i don't understand, everything tells me the php sessions are correct (except I get a yellow ball when I go to install under Checking if sessions are enabled

Although the PHP support for sessions is not mandatory, it is highly recommended. Logins and other things may slow down and you may have difficulty with some addon functionality without this capability. Caution



I attached a copy of my phpinfo()

I don't know much of PHP installing, but looking at your ini file, if I were you, I would switch ON some parameters :
.autostart On
.cookie_domain duplaysite.net
.cookie_httponly On
.cookie_lifetime 4000
.cookie_path /sessions
.use_cookies On
.use_only_cookies On

and your /sessions folders (at the root of your webserver) should be writeable.
