Vista - Windows Live Messenger loses sign in data on reboot.

Every time I reboot my machine, the first time I start Windows Live
Messenger I have to enter all my sign-in data: user name, password, check
automatically sign in, etc. If I exit Windows Live Messenger and start it
again it will login me in automatically. But if I reboot, I have to enter
all the data again.

Any thoughts on what might be causing this problem? I wonder if something
got corrupted and the data isn't really get saved to disk/registry and
rebooting flushes it from memory.

Thanks,

Eric

Do you have something installed that deletes any change made to the Windows
registry or system folders?. Maybe some programs prevent Windows Live
Messenger to save its configuration.

preventing the changes. Although, just before this happened I was getting
some weird messages about the MSN server and not being able to logon, but I
was logged on. I'm thinking I have more of an issue with the permissions of
wherever the data is attempted to be written (the registry or a cookie or
some other file). I noticed that IE7's temporary file location was nearly
full so increased that size as well. Didn't seem to make a difference.
