I am unable to save passwords in my newest vesion of
Outlook Express, so whenever I open it I am prompted to
enter a password. It is only happening on one of my
computers, it is fine on the others.

thanks

Liam,

For WinXP:
First, make sure that "Protected Storage" service is running. Click Start / Run / Services.msc
If it is already ON, try this:
Your Outlook Express Password Is Not Retained in Windows 2000 or XP

[Applies to Auto-Complete as well]

THANKS!
It was already on, but resetting the registry entries
fixed the problem.
