3319	1999-11-01 09:45:00	After a major crash I formated my hard drive and reinstalled win98 from a 'recovery CD' as supplied by HP in lieu of a win 98 disk.Everything went ok for at least five minutes. I noticed on the third reboot that a card popped up demanding my name and giving me the option of entering a password.It also said that if I didn't enter a password I wouldn't see it again.I entered a name and pressed ok.The next time I rebooted up popped the sign again .I hit cancel and it went away.Then I found that my internet password had disappeared.I re-entered it and all was ok until I looked at dial up networking.Not only had my password gone, but the save password box was greyed out.I could re-enter password but not save it. I rebooted again and when asked entered my name and hit ok. Miraculously I could now save password in DUN and IE again remembered password and autodialed. This means if I don't enter my name every time I boot I have to manualy enter password to access the net. I spent an hour on the phone with HP but they knew as much as I do.Very little.At this stage there was nothing on hard drive except what came off program recovery disk.I have since upgraded to IE5 but nothing has changed. I have also reformated three times with the same result. If anyone has any ideas I would love to hear them.All the obvious things have been tried and retried.
