Hi Larry,
No,Simply because it is all MS products either it was IE6 or IE7 but MS
offer the Updates according to General statistics as a whole not on
individsuals.
Some update can be not good for some and can be life safer for others.
If your system wasn't compatible in either case Software,hardware from
other
Vendors rather than MS or MS (I'm not defending MS here) can cause
trouble
and no body can discover them or with difficulty can be discovred.
For your Issue, because you hault the Installation of the Updates that
was
a
bad move for your unfortunately.
= Try this and see if it will solve your issue:
Open a run command and type or cut & paste this to your Run command:
rundll32 setupwbv.dll,IE6Maintenance "C:\Program Files\Internet
Explorer\Setup\SETUP.EXE" /g "C:\WINDOWS\IE Uninstall Log.Txt"
And select Repair Option from the Open window.
= Or you can Reregister these DLLs it may will help;
Open Run Command and type thiese DLLs one-by-one:
regsvr32 mshtml.dll
regsvr32 oleaut32.dll
regsvr32 cryptdlg.dll
regsvr32 gpkcsp.dll
regsvr32 dssenh.dll
regsvr32 urlmon.dll
regsvr32 initpki.dll
regsvr32 shell32.dll
regsvr32 Actxprxy.dll
regsvr32 softpub.dll
regsvr32 cryptsvc.dll
netsh winsock reset
= Another to try is Double click My Computer and Right Click your
Primary
Partition (C:\) and select Properties from the drop down list.
On the System window click on Tools Tab and click on Scan Disk or check
Disk
Button you will have a windows slect fix Automatically and Thoroughly
or
both boxes then click [OK] you will get a Message say It can't Check
the
disk
now because it is in use by other programs or something like that and
you
will get the option to check on Start up say Yes/Okay for that and
Reboot
your System.
HTH.

Nass.. I really think this is a secret plot by MS to make me install
IE7<g>.
It tried loading it last wk. As soon as I saw IE7 I hit cancel. Anyway
I
have no idea why I don't see IE on Add/Remove. I tried your other Run
option. Nothing seemed to happen.
I reentered the pswd and rebooted. It worked for a couple of times.
Then
I
went to AOL for a bit. When I exited I tried IE again. No pswd. I have
Zonealarm and it says no virus or spyway. Also Seek&Destroy,
Trendmicro
Anti-Spyware & AdAware all come up clean.
Since I don't know for sure when this started doing a checkpoint
restore
wouldn't work. Programs & Updates were installed in the last few days.
Unfort. I have no disc as OS was preinstalled by HP. And going back to
them
they'd say do a restore to factory settings. Not going ot do that.
It's
not
that big a prob. For now I'll just tell it rem. my email addr. I can
live
w/entering the passwd. No idea why, but I'll chalk it up to a MS
update
cauing probs. Or is that unthinkable<g>.
Any other ideas or just live w/it? Thanks again.

Hi Nass, Thanks for all the feedback.
What I did do so far was your 1st suggestion. I went into the Inet
Options
tab. No luck. The password stayed for the reboot, but after
closing/opening
IE again it was gone. Also for some off reason after I cleared the
password
setting only a couple of my passwords were gone and needed to be
reentered.
Odd thng is though that is is Only MSN Hotmail's pswd that keeps
getting
removed.
Right now tweaking the registry is something I am not confidant in.
I understand *how* to do it. I just need to read up on creating the
b/u
1st.
Plus it seems I have to maully look
for each setting. I copy the key you show and after opening regedit
I
do
ctl
V (paste), it searches and then comes back w/nothing.
Doing a copy/paste I doubt I entered something wrong. I tried with
&
w/o
the
[ - ].
I Did forget to mention I am using Xp Pro. Sp2 (if that matters),
b/c
my
system looks a bit diff. from what you described.
I did find the options easy enough though.
When I did look in the registry I could not find [-]
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Mail and News
under
[-]HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet
Settings\Passport I see 3 lines: (Default) REG_Sz,
NumRegistrationRuns
RED_DWORD 0x000000001 (1) & RegistrationCompleted (same info.)
Under Protected Storage I am not sure what you are suggesting to
do? I
see
the Keyname and then another tab (subfolder) w/a long string next
to
it.
Rtclicking on ea. gives me 2 diff. sets of Permissions. Under the
top
(main
key?) I see 4 lines.
1st says Allow - Your (PC Name)\HpAdmin Full Control Current_User
This
key &
subkeys
2nd Allow SYSTEM .....
3rd Allow Administrator (Your PC) ....
4th Allow RESTRICTED .....
Under the 2nd (subkey) says Default REG_SZ (value not set). As
you
suggest
Replace permissions is NOT cked. But I am real confused her about
this
whole
section. My subkey already looks as you described.
I am real confused here. Why only this 1 passwd? Thanks again.
:
It seems that for about a week IE is no longer keeping my
password
when I
log on to Hotmail.
It is set to remember the signon id & pswd. The id stays, the
circle
is
checked (green dot),
yet what I log off the computer it seems to remove the pswd.
It seems to keep all my other logon info to other sites
(cookies).
I
have
tried clearing temp Inet files, &
deleted cookies. The problem still persists. I could just check
rem.
id
only
and keep retyping the pswd.
but since I am the only one ot use this pc why should I?
That plus it seems to think everytime I open IE there is a
popup.
Popup
controls are set to low.
For now I turned it off. I never saw any site listed in the tab.
Could this have something to do w/MS latest IE6 sec. patch?
Seems
that
this
is when it started,
after this weeks patch. PC is set to automaticaly get updates.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
TIA
