Why does a web site keep "forgetting" me?

Hi,
As you know, there are many web sites requiring you to log in. There is
usually a box to click for making the web site remember you.
For the last few days, I am experiencing problems with a specific web site.
I enter my username and password and click the "remember me" box but the
site doesn't remember me.
This problem is site specific. I don't have similar problems with other
similar web sites.
Additionally, this problem is PC-specific as I am able to login to the same
site on other computers.
The problem is user-specific too. When I log in to windows as another user,
there are no problems.
I have deleted the cookies and tried to delete everything using Tracks
Eraser but the problem persists.
Any ideas?
Thank you...

Hi,
Try running Protected Storage PassView from
http://www.snapfiles.com/get/pspv.html If you find dupicate or incorrect
passwords for that site, delete them.

Something here may help

or here http://windowsxp.mvps.org/ProtectedStorage.htm

You may have to create a new user account and copy data to it:

Hope this helps,

I think this problem is not about storing passwords. I will visit the pages
you suggested but the password of the specific site is not stored in my
computer.
 
Do you Block Cookies ? That might be the problem.

No but it is not active. Another point is that i don't have the problem with
other web sites (such as Ebay).
