From the recent posts on XP, it appears MS has bought everybody off with game compatibility, stability, etc. . . . as a means of pushing product activation down everyone's throat. If everyone is prepared to trade off control of their computer so they can play some lousy game,.

More IE5.5 troubles

jazzcat

I am not sure if IE5 did this before installing SP2 or what, but whenever I click on a link that is supposed to open a new browser window (such as a link in hotmail), nothing happens. Actually, if I right click on any link and say open link in new window, the same lack of action occurs.

Hello. Somewhere under How Internet Connection Firewall (ICF) works in some Helpfile I read that: All inbound traffic from the Internet is compared against the entries in the table. So there IS a table with definitions of what can go and what can't go through the firewall.

Passwords

illusionist

Can some one answer this question? When you log into a site, ie: yahoosports and you sign up for a user name and password, windows comes up with a pop up box asking you if you would like windows to remember the password and in my case I tend to say yes.
