"Save email account and password (for Hotmail acct) doesn't work i

I recently upgraded from Win 2000 Pro to XP Pro. Now when I want to access my

Hotmail account, I check the option titled "Save email address and password?"

and enter the info, but the password does not stay. I end upo having to type

it back in every time. This feature worked with Explorer 6, but not with

Explorer 7 and XP. What gives?? Also, in Explorer 7, I get a lot of web

pages with VERY SLOW scrolling. Never had that in Explorer 6. Are there fixes

for these problems??
