Make sure you look through the existing user accounts for unneccesary large files. I imagine that a profile with a few hundred MB hidden in its directories could cause some of these symptoms.

Go to Control Panel (Classic View) and open "Java Plug-In 1.3.1_0x" make sure that "Enable Java Plug-in" is selected. Open the Browser tab and make sure that Microsoft Internet Explorer is selected. Reid http://reid.tk

I think I'll try the other method mentioned for the problem with OE on XP.

Krap. It didn't work. Client for Microsoft Networks was disabled, so I uninstalled it, rebooted, installed it, and enabled it on the dial up account. Still the same problem. I save the passwords, and they're gone as soon as I reboot. Reid http://reid.tk

Hooray! My specific problem in a Knowledge Base article. This is all I wanted for Christmas. Reid http://reid.tk

Thanks very much. I'll try it later. Reid http://reid.tk

I'm having difficulty with an XP Pro OEM installation where DUN seems intent on not retaining saved passwords. Are these passwords saved under this "Protected Storage System Provider" key? Reid http://reid.tk

I didn't see this method of implementing the Windows Desktop Update in any other threads, and I thought it was worthy of sharing here. This method works if you have the entire IE setup directory on your hard drive. All you do is edit the iesetup.ini file. In the first section, Options, set...

Your friend who suggested taking out the battery (or resetting the jumpers) was thinking of the boot-up password that can be set through many BIOSes. The NT Administrator password isn't stored in BIOS, it's stored in the operating system's settings, somewhere on the hard drive, as suggested...

I worked at a pet store for some time and the owner ran Windows 98 SE on a 486SX 33 with 14MB ram as the cash/POS system. Needless to say, I have a very high tolerance of slow system setups. For what he needed, he'd have been much better of running DR-Dos and possibly Windows 3.x. NT 4 with...

I'm planning on running NT4 Workstation (SP6a, IE 6, Windows Desktop Upgrade) on a 486DX2/66MHz box with 32MB ram, 2x 500MB IDE hard drives, 3 1/2" and 5 1/4" floppies, 32x IDE CD-Rom, 2MB Ati Mach 64 ISA graphics, ISA sound card, 28.8 ISA modem, and possibly an ISA NIC. My primary...

Here's a notable site on the issue, with a quick and easy fix. http://www.idisoft.com/support/kb/1035.htm Reid http://reid.tk

I should have mentioned that I've already tried deleting/recreating the account several times. Also notably, this problem occured on a previous installation on this machine, and on the current installation, I pulled a Winmodem and installed a good USR 56K ISA. I tried it again, with no result...

I'm running XP Pro on one box (no SP1) and I have two user accounts, both of them in the "administrator group". I use a single dial-up Internet account. When I originally set up the account, I selected the option to save the username and password for all users. Every time I go to...

Thank you. The perfect solution. Reid http://reid.tk

Thanks for your quick responses. I actually located instructions for the above registry method and successfully implemented it. I had the administrator account log on automatically. My only problem was when I tried to log off of the admin account, I was logged off, and immediately logged in...

I'm planning on running NT 4 Workstation for a person new to the world of computers. I'm aware that doing this may pose some more challenges, but I've chosen the stability of NT over the more "user friendly" 95 and 98. I'd like to know if it is possible to bypass the user login...
