I have recently upgraded to XP but I have started to have a problem with my dial-up password. Every time I click on IE up comes a password of about double the length. If I type in the correct password all is OK. When I go to Settings I still get the same result. Can any one out there help?

Yes the several dots that appear are the same on all computers as standard. what is happening is that the Pc is not remembering your password, so when you do type it in all is ok, you need to check the box in the connect box that says always remember my password on this computer and it will do just that.

I have had the same issue on my computer, operating on Windows 2000. My computer tech son says that it's fine, just hit connect because the system is "hiding" your password in there. I've not had to type it in.

I originally wrote this for Outlook and Outlook Express but the key is the same.
