I reinstalled my XP today and found that after updating
my IE the autocomplete feature quit working. I am
running IE
Version 6.0.2800.1106.xpclient.010817-1148
Cipher Strength: 128-bit
Update Versions:;SP1;Q832894;

I have had to reinstall XP before and never had this
problem.

The problem started happening using the version of IE
from my XP install so I ran the Q832894 update and it did
not correct the problem.

Any help will be greatly appreciated as I program and
have hundreds of user/passwords I have to use on a daily
basis.

Thank you in advance for your assistance with this
problem.

Joseph,

First, make sure that "Protected Storage" service is running. Click Start / Run / Services.msc
If it is already ON, try this:

[Applies to Auto-Complete as well]

Brilliant! I had the identical issue after an XP re-
installation and was going insane! The article you
suggested: ?kbid=264672 solved it for me. Perverse - I
would never have looked under Outlook Express as I don't
use it. Many thanks.
