Try this...control panel/internet options/content tab/auto complete/clear passwords
This will clear ALL passwords however !!!

Does your dialup connect even with the extra dots in the password field?

XP adds the extra dots for "additional security" so if it connects anyway, your password is being saved.

Evidently, that feature is to make it more difficult for others to hack your password since they won't be able to tell how many characters it contains just by counting the dots.

HI I didn't try that just thought thats the wrong password and rubbed it out, just tried and it worked thanks for that.

thanks also to dammit i had forgoten how to turn auto complete on and off so that was handy aswell.
