Messenger won't remember user login settings after reboot

Everytime I reboot, Messenger looses my login settings and I have to type
user name, etc., to login. I've read other messages about yahoo toolbar
causing this, but I don't have yahoo toolbar. Is there a fix for this?

Greetings Zootal,

I've been working on a fix for this for awhile, if you could e-mail me
(msnewsreplies@xxxxxx), I'd appreciate your help in testing it.

Re: Messenger won't remember user login settings after reboot

A few days ago, I contacted Jonathan directly and offered to be a tester,
but have not heard from him...
Meanwhile, Zootal, did you contact Jonathan and get some results?

Re: Messenger won't remember user login settings after reboot

Hi ilyaz,

Not seeing any e-mail from you. Where did you you send it? I get hundreds of things a day,
I do my best to answer people as I can and filter out things, but it can be challenging.

I'm going to e-mail you at this Hotmail address you're using here.

Re: Messenger won't remember user login settings after reboot

Jonathan,

just to confirm your message here and at my private email, yes, I got both.
Also, I've downloaded your tool and attempted to use it several times to no
avail. Every time, at the end of the run in Step 3, I got an error message
(I sent you the full text of it). In short, for some reason, the file
comp.dat was not created.
Awaiting new instructions from you, if any...

Regards,

ilyaz

RE: Messenger won't remember user login settings after reboot

hi there everyone here is a tempory fix till microsoft creates an update.

what you have to do is create another user account in control pannel with
administrator rights and then just login with your password saved then reboot
your computer and it should save your login info i hope this helps all the
best dave39uk

Re: Messenger won't remember user login settings after reboot

I tried your suggestion. Sure it works in the new account, but when I switch
to the old one - no relieve...
