I used to be able to pull up certain pages (online banking, for example) and
IE7 would preload my bank card number so that I could just enter my password
and start working. Similarly, IE7 used to automatically log me into internet
forums when I visit them. Now I have to re-enter all my bank card data, etc,
every time I go to pages that require that type of information.

I recently changed my security program but can't find anything either IE7 or
that program that could help me get back to what I had before.

Anyone know how I can do this?

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Hi,
Windows XP or Vista?

Many secure sites (banks, etc.) don't allow the caching of login
information. A third-party program such as RoboForm www.roboform.com or the
Google Toolbar's AutoFill feature http://toolbar.google.com may work around
this restriction at some sites.

If AutoComplete isn't working for usernames/passwords at any sites...
1. Check cookie settings at Internet Options> Privacy. Make sure that
settings aren't too restrictive. Is a third-party program blocking cookies?

2. Protected Storage - Save Password issues:

Hope this helps,
