Re: AutoFill & AutoComplte

I think part of the problem...is me! Perhaps I am confused as to what
feature does what? I looked at my Add-Ons...there was NO Google items
listed. I unchecked items in AutoComplete, deleted all uner the General Tab,
restarted IE...rechecked all in AutoComplete, restarted IE7, no difference.
My OS Visa Home Prem 32bit SP1....I went to SERVICES.....saw Protected
Storgae, it shows STARTED...Manual.
As an example of what is not taking place on my New PC, that takes place on
my Older PC, ....when I would go to Dell.com and start to enter my User ID to
logon to My Account.....my ID would appear in a drop down Window and I would
simply click on and it would populate the Block.....then I only needed to
type in my Password. This is not happening.
