I have the same problem. However, there are two accounts on my PC and it
works fine on one but not the other!
I tried switching to MS Windows instead of custom in the settings and it
made no difference and reset itself to custom.
It might be a security program blocking the Registry change it needs to
make. A few of the programs now doing this a
Ad-aware's Ad-Watch
McAfee VirusScan and/or Antispyware
Norton AV
Spyware Blaster
Spybot Tools IE Tweaks
Spybot- Teatimer
Spysweeper
Windows Defender
Zone Alarm (free) 6.5 Reported to be fixed in later versions.
In the case of Zone Alarm 6.5 it actually has to be uninstalled. Make
sure the Windows Firewall is turned on until you reinstall Zone Alarm.
Boot into Safe Mode with Networking with Networking and try the change.
