replacement.
Now the geniuses there 1st reported no prob. found. Yet they repl. the
burner, upgraded firmware & other drivers.
NTF, how do they figure that?? Anyway, among other probs. I still have
w/them I can not get passwords from browser page password info. to save.
I have to repeatedly log back in to even the Yahoo toolbar. I have to log
back in to MSN for mail, etc.
I have looked at everything I can think of that might block or del. cookies
but can not find anything.
I have cked Norton Sec. 2005, TrendMicro AntiSpyware, AdAware, & Spybot S&D.

Hi,
Check the Cookies folder at C:\Documents and Settings\username. Are cookies
being written and updated? Right-click a cookie from Yahoo (for example) to
check Properties such as Modified.

Cookies are only one part of remembering login information. Also see

Hope this helps,
