Title: Auto-complete doesn't work in IE 6
Post by: cojack on August 17, 2006, 11:54:45 AM

I am using IE 6 with Win XP and auto-complete doesn't work for forms. Passwords are okay. I went to Internet options>contenet>auto-complete and all boxes are checked. Web addresses seem to be okay. This is a pc that I just changed out the MOBO, Power supply, and 80G HDD. I reloaded the EMachines restore disks to come back up after the installation and everything seems to be working. Except this and one item with OE 6 that I will start a new topic with.

Download and run CCleaner (free at www.ccleaner.com)

Reset everything and see if that helps:  
  
  
1. Start    
2. Settings    
3. Control Panel    
4. Internet Options    
5. Security tab    
6. Reset all 4 security zones to Default    
  
1. Start    
2. Settings    
3. Control Panel    
4. Internet Options  
5. Privacy  
6. Restore 1 Default button  
  
1. Start    
2. Settings    
3. Control Panel    
4. Internet Options    
5. Advanced    
6. Restore 1 Default button  
  
You may need to do the following as well    
  
1. Start    
2. Settings    
3. Control Panel    
4. Internet Options    
5. General tab    
6. Remove cookies, temporary files and history

Did what you said except the privacy tab doesn't show any defaults to be reset. Tried entering something in Google, backed out of IE and opened IE again and tried to re-enter the same word in google and it didn't auto-complete. I need to find a few forms that I can populate to see if they remember my info.
