Cannot autologon. Help!

by Ruthless4Life / August 22, 2004 11:13 PM PDT

Every time I click "send/receive" email I have to put in my password. In the account settings, every time I put in my password and check the "remember password" box, the password disappears the next time I check the settings. And each time I put into my password when it asks for it when I "send/receive" mail and check the "remember password" box, it never remembers it and asks me again the next time. Is there a way to fix this? Thanks a lot.

I can get Windows 95/98/ME to do that if I uninstalled the Microsoft Client in the Network Control Panel, but your post didn't mention that.

Glad it did the job.

Lately some forum members have become a little testy when others ask for the missing details, but as your post bears out, sometimes just a few more details is all that's needed.

What is bothersome about your bug is that why would you run into it? My feeling is that Microsoft needs to do a better job so you don't get hit with such arcane problems.

Help, my PC with Windows 10 won't shut down properly

Since upgrading to Windows 10 my computer won't shut down properly. I use the menu button shutdown and the screen goes blank, but the system does not fully shut down. The only way to get it to shut down is to hold the physical power button down till it shuts down. Any suggestions?
