A few months back I inadvertently allowed Microsoft to upgrade my browser to
v8.x on my main desktop running XP. After that I had several problems, the
most annoying was that after the upgrade two of my applications could not
remember the passwords I had established for each application. Most used of
the two was Dreamweaver which could no longer store and remember the
password to access the server on which the webpage I maintain was kept. I
had to reset the url and password every time I used Dreamweaver to update
the remote site. Very frustrating. After several weeks of trying to figure
out what was going on I found the clue on the Dreamweaver users' group site.
I unloaded IE8.x and reinstalled IE7.x and all returned to normal.
Now I'm getting weary of having to deny the upgrade to IE8.x that MS
continues to try and force on me. Every time there are XP upgrades to
download I have to go to manual installation and uncheck the Upgrade to
IE8.x box UGH!
