Can anybody tell me how I can get my internet conection wizard to save my password for my I.S.P. connection. Everytime I start I.E. 5.5 I have to enter my password.
There is a box which says 'Save Password' but this is greyed over and cannot be ticked.
The 'Connect Automatically' box is also greyed over and cannot be ticked.
Does anyone know what I can do to change this as I want to connect automatically to my default I.S.P. each time I start I.E. 5.5.

Windows ME crashes even more than 98. It's quite unbelievable.

It's probably all to do with Windows access privileges and users. In my opinion Windows 98 and 95 are complete rubbish at this and help they provide is not much help at all.

I don't know how good Windows ME, but Windows 2000 is much better at creating users and groups.

The password box stayed greyed over all the time.
However I've found out that if I log off the default user from the start menu the password box can be ticked and saved. I have to log off everytime I start my pc though. Better than nothing I suppose.
Thanks Guys for your help.

The save password box is greyed out before you enter the password, try entering it and then look at the box.

No, I don't get a Windows Logon box when my pc starts up. I should think I've just got a dodgy version of Windows 98 and I.E. 5.5

Do you get a Windows Logon box when you start your PC? If so, there might be your problem. I found that if you press cancel at this box, these options are greyed over.
