Pls. check with yr hoster whether you are on a "shared" server.
If so check the forum for a solution.

I think you might need to read this post:

http://forums.oscommerce.com/topic/330479-what-is-the-oscsid-why-you-must-not-loose-it/

"Clearly to ensure proper working of the above you must ensure no links to your site contain a sid either within search engines index (Prevent Spider Sessions), other sites linking to you or any links within your own site. If this does occur you can get users finding they are accessing another's account, orders getting mixed up and even billing going awry. There is a new tag (canonical) which could help you avoid this problem with search engines, though you must avoid this problem occurring in the first place."

Not a good idea, if it happened once it will happen again, check at least your admin settings are correct. :mellow:
