I have a gateway model m275 laptop that won't save usernames and passwords in anything. I've tried various tech supports but no one has an answer. This computer is about 18 months old. Can anyone help me??

As for your problem, there may be a setting in IE that allows you to save/not save form data (I'm assuming this is an Internet problem; you need to give more information). You can also try a different web browser.
Of course, this post is pretty much meaningless if I misunderstood you.

I translated this quite literally from the duth version of it. But more info on what you are using on that laptop would be really helpfull if you want some serious support.

Well, I'm actually using both IE and Foxfire. Neither will save my usernames and passwords. This ranges anywhere from logging into my Bank to this website and everywhere else. All other computers I'm on only need you to populate the first letter or number of your username to bring up everthing else. I can't get that done on this computer. I have to retype everything, everytime.

Well, if you had clicked the link in my previous reply you would have found yourself with just whichever forum covered the OS you have installed to choose from. Hardly rocket science...
In fairness, pointing you at the appropriate forum is meant to help you: once there you will likely get the help you are after, posting a tech support question in a forum clearly marked community introductions is like going to the hospital and asking people in the waiting room to help fix your broken leg.
But anyway, good luck with your problem. Although seeing as you have already stated you've 'tried various tech supports and nobody has an answer' you might want to reconsider, follow that previous link and post your question in the forum covering whatever version of Windows you are running on.
