Try to change this:

session.save_path = "0;c:\program files\php\tmp"

don't forget to use the 0; before the path.

PHP 5.1.4
Windows NT SERVER 5.1 build 2600

Possible workarounds installed as mentioned in the thread.

I also noticed that the session cookie is not updated 
when another pages is loaded that contains session_start();
This causes the session always to expire after its lifetime,
where I expect the session to expire after the last session_start +
lifetime.

Same thing for 5.1.16
I tried other people's suggestion, did not work for me neither. 

Please give a workaround.

Similar problem happend to me. The following is my configuration:
Apache 2.2.3, 
PHP 5.1.16
I tried three different browsers, IE, FireFox, Maxthon
same error happens.
I host the website on my local machine, Win XP Home, therefore, I try
to access the site using http://localhost/testsite

add default_charset = "iso-8859-1"; in php.ini, did not work
set setting cookie_domain=localhost did not work
set session.use_trans_sid on did not work.

Try setting cookie_domain in php.ini to a period (.) followed by your
domain.  For example, ".google.com".  The default typically tells PHP
to use www.google.com which will cause problems if the user types
google.com.

I've got the same problem with php 5.1.6.
session data is not maintained between pages.

If I add default_charset = "iso-8859-1"; in php.ini, everything works.
