Password screen hides itself

**PaddyN** · 06-04-2009, 08:14 AM

Hey,
on Vista, when i access a website needing name and password (work CMS) the user/password box pops up and then hides itself.
If i hit ctrl+alt+del load the task manager and close task manager it reappears.

Just wondering how to fix it so it comes to front all the time :D

Any ideas guys?

Hi, always log out when you finish a session , otherwise you will go straight back in. Go to tools internet options and clear your cookies, then try again.

Can you please eloborate on your issue.what browser are you using.What website you are trying to access.What Exactly is happening???

well either firefox or inet explorer.
when we load say user.cms.afg.com it asks for a name and password in a pop up box.
that always goes to the bottom layer of all the windows, literally to the background.

also, we dont have a logout button, its our own custom setup, plus its only on 1 machine, we currently have 5 running the same thing, only one has this issue

Try uninstalling Firefox and then install it again. Is that vista or XP on the machine.

Well being the IT manager, i have tried it lol..
its on Vista unfortunately...but ive tried a clean install of Firefox, still does it, thing is its both IE and FF..
tried a sys restore to first install, still does it.

How about safe mode with networking... Did u try that... I know its a silly question but as a technician myself I would like to start from the basics

**PaddyN** · 06-22-2009, 12:54 AM

vicky_anish · 06-23-2009, 03:07 AM
