Solve : Problems with AutoComplete? |
| Answer» <html><body><p>Hello All,<br/><br/>I'm new here & found you by <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/looking-1079184" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about LOOKING">LOOKING</a> for a solution to a minor, but annoying problem. <br/><br/>I have a Gateway cheapie laptop that I bought from Tesco a few months ago (yes, I know, buy <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/cheap-914614" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about CHEAP">CHEAP</a>, buy twice, as my mum always used to say, but it was all I could afford to get while my old faithfull Dell was down). It came with Vista Home Premium pre-loaded. <br/><br/>My problem is, I can't for the life of me get AutoComplete to work. I've tried going through the Control Panel>Internet Options>Content & have ticked all the boxes, but it still won't prompt me when filling in forms etc. <br/><br/>I tried adjusting everything via Tools on my browser, too. Still nothing. If I switch to Explorer & use the Google toolbar, the Autofill is <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/shaded-1204458" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about SHADED">SHADED</a> & it won't allow me to click on it to make any adjustments in the first place. <br/><br/>I'm getting very frustrated with this (maybe it's something simple that I'm not doing - not beyond the realms of possibility )<br/><br/>Also, maybe totally unrelated & possibly something more serious (or just normal for Vista). A few times an hour, I'll get what I can only describe as a blink. The screen goes blank for a second - it's almost like when you blink slowly. The screen also goes black for a second before the screensaver comes on. Is this bad news or something normal? I never noticed it on XP. <br/><br/>TIA for all replies.<br/><br/>Duh!Quote from: Duh! on November 05, 2007, 11:08:38 AM</p><blockquote>My problem is, I can't for the life of me get AutoComplete to work.

And you have the box for "Use inline Auto-Complete" <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/checked-417082" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about CHECKED">CHECKED</a>, right?Quote from: Duh! on November 05, 2007, 11:08:38 AM<blockquote><br/>Also, maybe totally unrelated & possibly something more serious (or just normal for Vista).

Hello Soybean,<br/><br/>Thanks for replying so quickly. I hadn't gone to Advanced, but I followed what you said & the box is ticked.<br/><br/>I just checked "Computer" & it says 0.99GB - I'm assuming that's what you mean? <br/><br/>I picked my username carefully - Duh! It just describes my PC abilities to a tee!!Bump - Soybean? Anyone...?Try un-installing the google toolbar and see if it works...Quote<blockquote>Also, maybe totally unrelated & possibly something more serious (or just normal for Vista).

It hasn't made a difference, though.<br/><br/>Patio - does it make a difference that it's only installed on Firefox? Is this the same as the Google desktop that came with the laptop?<br/><br/>TIA,<br/><br/>Duh!Open your Registry Edfitor.<br/>Navigate to:<br/><strong>HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main</strong><br/>In right hand pane, you'll see:<br/><strong>FormSuggest PW Ask</strong><br/>Make sure, it's set to <strong>Yes</strong>Hi again, Broni.<br/><br/>I tried all that (had no idea how to get into it but thank God for the help feature ).<br/><br/>It's all set as you've suggested. <br/><br/>Is there anything else I can try? <br/><br/>TIA,<br/><br/>Duh!When you say:<br/>Quote<blockquote>Autofill is shaded</blockquote>are you talking about Google toolbar, or IE option?<br/>Is it turned on in Google toolbar Preferences?Hi Broni,<br/><br/>The Autofill box is ticked on the Google Toolbar (it even has all my info in the settings). <br/><br/>All the boxes are ticked in the Internet Options version. <br/><br/>It looks like I'm doing it all but there's obviously something I'm missing!<br/><br/>Duh!In this case, I'd go with patio suggestion:<br/>Quote<blockquote>Try un-installing the google toolbar and see if it works...</blockquote></body></html> | |
