Well, I've installed a new machine and after 3 days using the MSN toolbar I
have the same problem again.

Facts:
1) I've set the form fill password 3 days ago, and I've been using it with
no problems until today
2) I haven't changed the configuration of the MSN Desktop Search/toolbar
since (no reistall, no update, no option was changed)
3) I've updated the system 2 or 3 times using Windows Update

But the form fill password onlyt stopped working today. I've really sure
that I haven't changed my system (no update at all) since yesterday (and
yesterday the form fill worked).

I guess I'll also stop using this functionality :-(
