15180 2001-07-08 01:28:00 My friend has Win95/IEv.4 on her computer and cannot get her browser to save the password. I have put her user name and password into InternetOptions/connections/settings/ispconnection/settings but the save password box on her dial-up window remains greyed out. What do I do next? Guest (0)

Step one. The first thing that you need to do is click on the start button and open up the control panel.

Step two. Now that you have the control panel open, double click on the control panel called Network.

Step three. In Network, the first thing that you want to do is make sure that your primary network logon is set to 'Windows Logon' and not something else.

Step four. Next you need to add the Client for Microsoft Networks. To do this click on the add button and then select clients. Next choose the Microsoft option and double click on Client for Microsoft Networks. Note: at this time Windows will most likely prompt you for the CD-ROM.

Step five. Click OK and when it asks you if you want to restart your computer click yes.

Now you should be able to check save password.
