    Just to see if it's a browser related issue, try this:
    Make sure Firefox is closed. Press Win+R, type firefox.exe -profilemanager and press enter. Make yourself a new profile and try the site.
    Other passwords are still saved?
    Make sure to post back.

    that did seem to work for Firefox, but it is still happening in IE8? does this mean i have a bad file somewhere?

    I can suggest another program, if it's a bad cookie that you can't find, CCleaner is a well known cleaner. It's a nice tool anyway. Hope this helps, let us know if it did.

    CC was the first thing i tried... i can get on the site at work, no problem, it has to be something on this box, i'd hate to have to reinstall just to get to a web site....
