Hi,

If one thinks another program is effecting this problem, perhaps use
msconfig to disable all programs in startup, reboot then test.

when

| File\Identities\Manage Identities, the 2 entries for
| - Use this Identity when starting a program, and
| - Use this identity when a program cannot ask you to choose an
identity
| are constantly set to the wrong identity.
|
| Whenever I set them to the correct identity (Identity Ordinal 1)
they
| always
| revert to the previous identity (Identity Ordinal 2).
|
| I have tried manually setting these in the registry to the correct
| identity
| (Identity Ordinal 1) at
| - HKCU\Identities Default User ID, and
| - HKCU\Identities Start As
| yet whenever I select File\Identities\Manage Identities, it resets
the
| values to the wrong identity (Identity Ordinal 2).
|

| permanently, or could it be some other software (e.g. NIS, NAV,
Spyware

|
| How can I fix this?
