HELP about autocomplete

[Guest]

I cleaned out my internet cookies, history, and tempory internet files. And
now my Autocomplete will not work. It still asks me if I want it to save my
info for when I come back to this webpage, but then it keeps asking me that
everytime I visit that page. The Autocomplete settings under internet options
are set correctly but I don't know why it keeps doing this. Does anyone know
how I can fix this?

Hi Ryan

You don't mention the version of Windows you are using, but, try the
following and see if it will help:

Have you checked the number of days you have your History set to save the
History? Make sure it's not set to 0

Make sure that you have not somehow enabled the Clear Forms or Clean
Passwords:

1.On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
2.Click the Content tab.
3.Click AutoComplete.
4.Click the appropriate AutoComplete check boxes, or click Clear Forms or
Clear Passwords to clear all saved items from the appropriate AutoComplete
history.
5.Click OK, and then click OK.

Have you tried turning AutoComplete off, restarting, turning it back on?

Next, you may have a damaged registry key.
Try this:
With no programs open,
Run REGEDIT and make your way to this key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER
Software
Microsoft Internet Explorer
IntelliForms
SPW
Create a System Restore point or export that key (Registry> Export- just in
case you wish to undo the change) then delete it- just the SPW key.
Restart the computer.
