Whenever I use session variables in webparts in sharepoint the page doesn't load and i get an error. I was adviced to enable them because they may be disabled. Any clue?

A:
By Default the Session State is Disabled in SharePoint. If you look at the Web.Config the you will see that as below.
<pages enableSessionState="false"
You can enable it there. Else you can Enable this at the Page Level.

Thanks man, but which Web.Config file exactly should I modify that in?

Web.Config file of the SharePoint Site that you are Using. Be selective about enabling the Session in the whole application. Because it will be a extra call for the Pages that dont need the Session. So I would advice that you enable only on the Page where you want the Session.

In your Server follow Start->Run->Type InetMgr->Press Enter->You will get Internet Information Server-> Expand the Tree->Find Web Sites->Find your Web Site . Right Click ->Properties -> Select Home Tab->You see a Local Path Navigate to that Path in the Computer and change that Web Config File

You may also need to add/uncomment the Sessionstate module in your web.config file, under <system.web><httpModules>:
<add name="Session" type="System.Web.SessionState.SessionStateModule"/>
