Identity Safe stopped auto fill

For the second time, my Identity Safe has stopped the auto-fill function. The first time I was able to find instructions on what to do and I think it required me to completely uninstall and reinstall Norton. This is REALLY annoying and time consuming, and now I can't even find the instructions on what to do. 1. Why did it stop working all by itself? 2. How do I fix it?

Norton 360 Version 5.0.0.125

Same thing happened to me when I installed firefox 4... now I have log in information... It's the most frustrating thing I can imagine... I think firefox should have given a warning about it... Meanwhile, it's a Norton product so, Norton, PLEASE let's see some action solution on this item... Makes me want to toss my laptop into the lake...

Product Name: Norton 360

  • Version: 3.8.0.41
  • If you can help me, please tell me what I can do to get my logins back... silly me, I don't have a complete record of my passwords... Darla [edit: Please do not post email addresses per the Participation Guidelines and Terms of Service.]

    bbzoomer, do you use Firefox 4.0 as well? If yes, you can run the compatibility hotfix as well.

    I di not use Firefox. I use IE and have made no changes to my system other than the updates that Microsoft does automatically.
