May not necessarily be an "XP" problem, but have only
noticed it on XP. When connecting to IE or OE, the
password sometimes has "lengthened" (just have the dots
so I don't know if it changed or just added characters to
my original password) OR it wipes out completely. YES, I
do have the Save Password box checked. Just very
frustrating!! Help!! Thanks!!

anyone know how many characters are in your password...
