Much as I like Win 7 (I previously liked Xp and Vista as well, but my favorite was 2000) it does have one minor annoyance; it doesn't always remember my PN login. I'm not sure whether this is actually Win 7 or Firefox. But prior to the Win 7 upgrade when I opened PN Community my username and password were always already inserted ready for use. Now around 50% of the time the boxes are blank.
I entirely agree it is simplicity itself to get over this by pressing Login anyway, this brings up a terse message that I need to add the details, but with the details inserted ready for use. So login becomes a two step click rather than one. But it is slightly annoying anyway. Think of all that extra wear on my mouse button!
When faced with two choices, simply toss a coin. It works not because it settles the question for you. But because in that brief moment while the coin is in the air. You suddenly know what you are hoping for.

When I was on Vista, something slightly similar would occasionally occur; that I could at the first start of a day have the boxes blank, but within a 5 to 10 seconds wait they would fill-in as normal on their own. Initially, thats what I thought was happening now, but it doesn't matter how long I wait with Win 7.
I have wondered if there might be an available RAM issue here, whilst I have 2Gb which is not excessive, its hardly the bare minimum either.
Ooop's! sorry artificer, no I don't have the "clear history" (or indeed clear cookies) selected.

It is also very curious that both my computers (both fairly recent upgrades to Win 7 from Vista Home Premium with seperate upgrade discs) display the same problem.
So thinks! what is the common denominator? only that they both share the same router (one cabled -the desktop- the other -laptop- wireless) but can't really see why that should make a difference, they are only rarely both on at the same time usually only if printing (very rare) via the home network from the laptop.

Advanced options for running the Memory Diagnostics Tool
We recommend that you let the Memory Diagnostics Tool run automatically. However, advanced users might want to adjust the tool's settings. Here's how:
1.When the Memory Diagnostics Tool starts, press F1.
2.You can adjust the following settings:
•Test mix. Choose what type of test you want to run: Basic, Standard, or Extended. The choices are described in the tool.
•Cache. Choose the cache setting you want for each test: Default, On, or Off.
•Pass count. Type the number of times you want to repeat the test.
3.Press F10 to start the test.

It also won't have anything to with your router, no offence to people suggesting these things but it's absurd to even suggest such a thing lol, if I were you SteveM I'd reinstall Windows and see if you still have the problem, but I'd bet a pound to a penny you won't.
Also the only other thing that could be stopping IE or FireFox remembering your password is your firewall settings or some other program causing a problem.
Could be worth checking that out.

Do you run any 'maintenance' programs such as CCleaner?
