This is driving me crazy.  I just installed Vista X64 on here the other day, and ever since then, every time I reboot it seems to forget a lot of the changes I made.. even in other applications.

For example.. if I change the view of folders and tell it to set all other folders the same way.. then reboot, they revert back to default after rebooting.  In ESET Smart Security when I disable "web access protection" (or any other setting) in the options and reboot, it turns itself back on after rebooting (which isn't NORMAL).  If I LOG into a website and tell it to remember me, I can exit Firefox and reopen it and I'll still be logged in.  But if I reboot... it's like I never logged in in the first place.

It's happening to all sorts of stuff, not just ESET and Firefox.  My Vista is fully updated and was installed from a legitimate disc.  Any ideas why this is happening?Is Service Pack 1 installed?  If not, install it...hate to say it but Vista does forget folder settings, it does it with mine too. as for FF, do you get it to clear personal data? i don't know about ESET sorry.

FBOh I know Vista forgets folder settings (XP does, too). 

I just figured that having SP1 would be a good place to start...

Next step would be this:
