So the other day my computer suffered a cardiac arrest and I did a system restore. Everything seemed fine till I tried to sign onto the org and I couldn't type my id and password into the little boxes. I also have firefox and it's not having that issue. Where do I find the setting in explorer that will enable me to type into the boxes to fill in forms?

somebody? anybody?

Use Firefox

if you can't fill in the boxes to log in, how'd you start the thread?

I'm using my laptop.

This all happened after I updated Zone Alarm. Could that have something to do with it?

could your pop up blocker be on?

^^ wait...thats for IE to remember your passwords isnt it...

Nothing changed when I disabled the pop up blocker. I checked out some suggestions on other forums but nothing has worked so far.

That's one of the options I never used. My desktop is in the living room where my son and his friends have access to it.

in tools, internet options, advanced.... see if something is unchecked? Otherwise thats all I got lol...good luck! It would drive me crazy also!

Thanks, I'll try it. The thing with me and computers is that a tiny glitch will bug me till I figure it out.

I hear ya! I have done things accidently and had to do a system restore cuz i couldnt figure out how to get it back!

Try uninstalling ZoneAlarm, then try it. Also, if the Org is the ONLY website that won't allow to type in the text boxes, add it to your Trusted Sites list by going to Tools>Internet Options, then go to Security tab, Trusted Sites zone, click the Sites button, then add it. Also, make sure you have all of your Windows updates. Between the three of these, it should be working again.

Thanks for the suggestions. The problem was happening in text boxes on all sites. I uninstalled ZA, but no change.

Finally found the fix on Cnet. Apparently when I did the system restore something was missing, so I had to type "regsvr32 mshtmled.dll" into the Start/Run dialog box and viola! I have no idea what that does, but it worked.

Cool beans! Looks like you just had to re-register the DLL file. Glad you found it.
