This might be old news but I just updated windows and now all my passwords don't work. What the fuck is up with that. Anybody know a fix for this??

Thanks.

I'm suprised they havn't fixed that issue yet... but a lot of people complained about the same issue... Think your best bet is to copy them all down to a text file and save it before hand... but it's a little late 4 you

everytime i download updates my machine slows down more and more. its fucked.

when i installed service pack 2 for XP Professional, it made my notebook run about 60% slower.

Never mind that there is very little you can DO to close that fuckin POP up!!! (aside from a 24 hour system restore)

Luckily for me I hard copy most everything.

is it just your IE passes, like your bookmarded passes don't work anymore? I have a fix for that, regedit, seriously, i used it on mine and everything works fine again, its a text file that you have to change to a .reg file, open it and it'll fix it all up, i'm not a cracker/hacker/bitch, so you can have my word that all this will do is fix your problem
