XP will not remember passwords.

I'm sure this will be an easy one for you pros...I did a search but could not find any useful answers...

Here goes...
Whenever I log onto a web site and check the box that asks to remember me the next time I visit my damn PC doesn't remember and I have to re-enter the password each time. Cookies are enabled...so I don't think that is the problem. Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks...but not what I'm talking about. I don't want it to remember the passwords locally.

Scenario: I log onto e-bay. I type my login and password. AND I check the box that indicates "Keep me signed in on this computer unless I sign out."

However the next time I try to access e-bay I have to go through the whole procedure again.

This site does it also...If I check the "remember me" box I still have to enter my info to log in again the next time.

Know what I mean?

Thanks.

Yes...cookies are enabled. Here is what I did. My privacy settings were set at medium. Which I guess is the default when you load XP fresh. Under the privacy tab I clicked "sites" and added this site and e-bay. Now it works fine. Thanks to all who replied!

Have a Merry Christmas.
