Hi,
I was wondering if this was a cookies problem. Sites like EBay , Yahoo, etc
have an option to keep you logged in unless you deliberately log out. This
doesn't sound like that situation, but check your cookies folder to make
sure that cookies are being kept and updated.
Run Protected Storage PassView
http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/pspv.html to
recover all cached passwords. Save as a text file. Go to Internet Options>
Content> Autocomplete and clear all passwords.
If that doesn't work, with no programs open,
Run REGEDIT and make your way to this key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER
Software
Microsoft Internet Explorer
IntelliForms
SPW
Export that key (Registry> Export- just in case you wish to undo the
change) then delete it- just the SPW key.
Restart the computer.
Another possibility... are you logging in to Windows? It isn't necessary
with WinME, but it is necessary for Autocomplete to work. To check this, are
your cookies listed as your_name@somesite.com or as anyuser@somesite.com?
