Windows 7 keeps forgetting my login details and passwords.

Basically on any forums where i have to log in ( this one for example ) i put my username and passwords in and always click the remember me box.

But next time i log in its forgotten and i have to manually log in again. Its the same for thses forums, facebook, and other forums.

Im allowing cookies so i dont see what im doing wrong.

What browser? IE8 or Firefox?

Sure you don't have the pron mode.. I mean private browsing turned on?

lol, its IE8, how would i find out private browsing is on?

Ctrl+shift and P is the keyboard shortcut, think it's on the safety menu too under private browsing. It's usually pretty obvious when it's on though mate, think you'd have noticed!

I have the same problem and it's very annoying.

any 3rd party security programs messing about with your settings/cookies?

Same here (sorry of no help, I have tried loads to try and fix it but cant)

Is an IE8 thing btw, not Win7, I have the same on my XP and Vista machines.

It seems to be a internet explorer issue - I'm having the same and quick google confirms its not just me either.

No real fix other than use firefox!
