Password Manager Crashing IE8 in Vista.

On certain sites, I noticed that IE8 on vista would crash with a Data execution Protection Error message. After digging through all of my addons, I narrowed it down to the "iepasswordmanagerhelper Class" and the "Lenovo Password Manager" extensions.
Although most sites work, some sites will constantly crash the browser. lenovo.com has just recently started to crash it. pcworld.com's news and review articles seem to always take it down as well. I've also disabled memory protection in IE8's advanced settings with the same results on or off. only disabling the addons in IE8 seems to fix the problem, but since I like the feature (especially with the fingerprint reader) I would rather have a fix than a workaround.
Password Manager version is 3.00.0205.00 and Client Security Solution version is 8.21.0006.00. Thinkvantage system update is not showing any updates to thiese versions, and all TVSU updates have been applied. Laptop is a Lenovo R61 7733 system running the Lenovo image of Windows Vista Ultimate. It has the built in Fingerprint reader as well.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Password Manager not working with any internet browsers

I have Thinkvantage password manager installed (v. 3.20.0311.00) on my Thinkpad X201. I am running Windows 7 professional, 64 bit. Password Manager works for all programs except IE8 or Mozilla Firefox (eg. works for Outlook, works for iTunes, etc.). When browsing, the program simply never pops up. It worked previously, and I still have many saved website login details, but it never logs in for me any more and new sites do not activate the program.
I have made sure that the add-on is enabled and I have checked the box next to "enable 3rd party browser extensions" in the advanced tab of internet options. I have also tried resetting internet explorer settings. As mentioned above, this in not only a problem with IE8; it also occurs with Firefox.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Dr_Rap

Same problem here. I just recieved mine (Win 7 pro 64 bit, X201 Multitouch) last week and password manager not working at all in ANY web browser. It recorded my .net password just fine, but i can't get it to work in IE8. Who pays this kind of money for something that doesnt work?
Fix this Lenovo!

Beta test - View Management Utility

We are currently beta-testing a new software application called View Management Utility (VMU). VMU is a screen management utility which helps you utilize a large external monitor more effectively. Please read below to see if this is something you might be interested in. If you are, and you decide to try it out, please let us know your feedback. Download links will be provided in the next post.
Features and Benefits
Screen divison
One screen can be divided into multiple grids, and different spilt plans are provided:
【None】：No grid mode is available.
【Single】：This grid mode treats the screen as a whole..
【Double(Vertical)】：This grid mode divides the screen vertically into two parts.
【Double(Horizontal)】：This grid mode divides the screen horizontally into two parts.
【Triple (Primary at left)】：This grid mode divides the screen into three parts with the primary part on the left.
【Triple (Primary at right)】：This grid mode divides the screen into three parts with the primary part on the right.
【Quad】：This grid mode divides the screen into four parts.
Customized split plan
If the factory default plan doesn’t fit the user’s requirement, user can create their own split plan
Grid's display properties
User can set the display properties for the grids, and below three grids display functions are provided:
【Always on top】function makes the selected grid always displayed on top.
【Focused】function makes the selected grid brighter than the others (other grids area become dark).
【Full Screen】function makes files displayed in full screen in that grid, e.g. (IE, multimedia player,powerpoint& else)
Binding a software to a grid
User can bind a software to a grid, e.g.(IE, Multimedia player), but one grid can only bind one software at a time. If the software executes at full screen mode, the grid will be autofilled.
Supporting Skype
In each grids's setting interface, three Skype window types are provided for binding, they are “Skype List”, “Skype Call”, and “Skype Share”, need to notice that One grid can only bind one type of the Skype, and one type of the Skype cannot bind twice.
VMU window properties
Four window properties are provided by the VMU menu.
【Transparent window】：after checked，the window will be transparent.
【Always on top】：after checked，the window will be always top of others.
【Lock in grid】：The grid mode is applied by default. Selecting Lock in grid indicates that the current window can use the current grid mode. That is, the window will populate the gird once it is moved into a grid. If Lock in grid is deselected, it indicates that the selected gird mode will not be applied to the current window. That is, the window can move freely on the screen.
【Move to grid】：after checked，user can move the current window to another grid.
Three monitor display modes supported
The VMU supports three monitor display modes
【mode 1】display on the main monitor only, not on the external monitor.
【mode 2】extend the desktop to the external monitor, i.e., the extended display mode.
【mode 3】the external monitor duplicates the display contents of the main monitor, i.e., the clone display mode

I've been testing the View Management Utility on my Thinkpad X220 (4291-37G) running Windows 7 64-BIT in UEFI mode (in the Dutch Language).
The first thing i noticed when launching the application from the Lenovo Thinkvantage Tools program, is that you get a Startup screen, in order to move on and get to the actual application you have to click close button (red x). To me it would seem far more logical to incorporate a OK button or something of that nature.
When I've actually started the application it appears not to be running, it's only after you click the settings button on the taskbar icon that it will show the actual application.
After playing with it for some time i found out that to actually use a grid you should close the setting menu and drag it to the grid you want the program to be running in, the grid will the be invisible yet the application will do what it was told to do; fit inside the grid.
The application in short is useful, it (correct me if i'm wrong) builds on the existing windows 7 features to make it more useful and more feature rich.
I've used it with an external monitor and that also works quite well.
My biggest concern is the end user experience; it really took a lot of effort to find out how to manage the application. There are a lot of setting's and it's kinda chaotic.
So maybe that (the end user experience) is something to look into.
If there's anything you would like to know just respond!
P.S.
Why not call it the ThinkVantage View Management Utility (TVMU)
This is just my opinion but dropping the ThinkVantage name (are you?) to me would be a waste, ThinkVantage to me stand's for the premium features you get when buying a Thinkpad/thinkcentre not only the Build Quality and sturdiness but also the software that help you manage your Thinkpad/Thinkcentre. The name says it all: ThinkVantage the andvantage of Thinksystems.
Oh, i just noticed that in the settings menu (taskbar icon --> settings) the word vertical in dutch is spelled incorrectly, its not
"vertikaal" but "verticaal".

After updating to the new browser, my password managing program could not work any longer. I had to go back to the previous version but was wondering when this can be fixed?

RoboForm password manager stopped working when I updated to the latest version of Firefox. I will contact them as well but I am using rf version 6 and would have to pay (again) to update that program to version 7. This is a vital program because I use a lot of different sites and really would like to continue to use with the Firefox browser.

Thanks for your help. I had already done the "forget this device" but had forgotten about the part of entering the passcode with the keyboard in order to pair. I found my instruction sheet after I posted my cry for help and when I did the pairing procedure right, it worked. It's weird that it decided to unpair itself. Both my husband and our daughter have the same keyboard and neither of them have had this happen. At least now I know what to do if it happens in the future.

HP Protect tool password manager not working with the new version of Mozilla: I got this alert: "Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (dpql) isn't associated with any program." please help

I have an HP ProBook 4520s. I have been using HP Protect tool's Password manager to store and manage my passords for all Login websites in Firefox 3.6. As a result, I just swiped my fingerprint to log on to any website.
After I installed the version 4 of Firefox, my all my login details do not work anymore. I have tried to reset them but I repeatedly get this error: "Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (dpql) isn't associated with any program."
something like this would have been passed onto the address: "dpql://c:\program%20files%20(x86)\hewlett-packard\hp%20protecttools%20security%20manager\bin\dpminionlineids.dll/qlinkload.htm#id=2".
Although the password manager works with Internet Explorer 9, I need it to work with Firefox 4 as this is my preferred browser.
Please help. Thank you!

I guess this means that IE is more user friendly for HP Password Manager finger swipe recall of passwords, a favorite of mine. I still don't see a post from Firefox as to why they haven't produced fix. So I'll switch to IE until things change. I don't see value in downgrading to a Firefox version that's no longer going to be supported.

ThinkVantage Productivity Centre/Password Manager for Windows 7 Beta?

Hi, i've noticed that there's no beta build of ThinkVantage Productivity Centre for Windows 7 Beta. Is Lenovo intending to release one?
But most important of all(my main question actually), is that can Password Manager be made available? I found it quite useful in Vista and would realy appreciate the availability of it for Windows 7 Beta

Christian,
Try going to the Fingerprint Software Settings and check-mark the box that says "Use fingerprint scan instead of password when logging into Windows." This will allow you to use the finger scaner to log-in. As far as saving user names and passwords, you will need to download the ThinkVantage Client Security Solution:
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=migr-46391
Unfortunately Windows 7 is not yet supported.
Does anyone have a link to the beta ThinkVantage Client Security Solution for Windows 7?

Is it at all possible for a program off the computer to get password information from the password manager?

With all of the discussion about needing an "external" password manager (outside the browser), and recent demonstration about how much information can be gotten about web browsing, IP addresses, physical location (at least down to the city), etc., I am concerned as to whether it IS safer to use a 3rd party password manager instead of the one in Firefox.\
ed

If you use a Master Password that is sufficiently strong then you should be safe.
* https://support.mozilla.org/kb/create-secure-passwords-keep-your-identity-safe
* http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Password_strength
*https://www.microsoft.com/security/pc-security/password-checker.aspx
If you do not use a master password then having access to key3.db and signons.sqlite is sufficient to have access to the encrypted names and passwords by placing the two files in a Firefox profile folder.

Fingerprint Reader access to KeePass (from a Thinkpad with Password Manager)

The goal: secure, convenient, automated login to password-protected sites
KeyPass is a great open-source program for secure creation, storage and use of login passwords and other information. With a plugin called KeeForm, it allows very convenient automatic login to password-protected sites by clicking on a KeePass entry. To preclude unintended access to all of your secure information, it is wise to close Keepass after each use, or set Keepass to lock when minimized. But this is less convenient, because a long secure master password then has to be entered before each use of Keepass.
Using a fingerprint reader to enter Keepass can be a big time saver while retaining security. Capacitive swipe fingerprint readers can be very secure, provided they operate through equally secure software. They are available as USB units, or integrated into some keyboards and notebook computers, for example some Lenovo ThinkPads.
Unfortunately, set-up can be a challenge and there may be disadvantages even after the best workable interface between KeePass and a particular biometric system. This example uses the integrated fingerprint reader and software on a Lenovo ThinkPad X61.
The problem: getting secure fingerprint software to use KeePass
ThinkPads can use Lenovo fingerprint software alone for start-up into Windows, but they need additional layers of software (Client Security Solution - CSS, and Password Manager - PM) to work with other programs including KeePass. PM uses CSS security functions.
Cautions about Lenovo CSS:
1. Some organisations advise against CSS because of problems including clashes with antivirus programs. See http://www.ncsu.edu/antivirus/lenovo/ and
http://prowiki.isc.upenn.edu/wiki/ThinkVantage_Software_Under_Windows_Vista
These bugs may have been fixed over time - but install at your own risk!
2. CSS and PM introduce their own system overheads which may slow some operations.
3. Once tried, CSS may not simply be inactivated while restoring basic fingerprint start-up into Windows. The X61 at least insists that CSS be reactivated for any fingerprint function. If you try a Windows system restore to a time before CSS was first activated, you may experience the ‘blue screen of death'. The security chip evidently regards your desire for a past configuration as a security breach. With luck you may ‘live again' if you can log into Windows in Safe Mode to undo the attempted system restore. After that, I reactivated CSS. I was not game to try uninstall after inactivation of CSS - but see the ncsu link above.
Having decided to accept the ‘risks' of activating CSS and PM, you may want to try PM for all password management. For me it would not recognise some internet logins, could not complete auto-submission in others, and did not allow the manual adjustments that make KeePass so versatile. Unfortunately PM help is very limited. There is no current user manual (old manuals up to v1.4 available on the web do not match the properties of the current v3 of the software). KeePass (or the KeeForm plugin) also struggles with some sites, but it works much better overall. Help on KeeForm plugin syntax is limited, but otherwise KeePass help is great.
So we really want the fingerprint reader (via PM) to work for KeePass master password entry.
This is not so simple for five interacting reasons:
(i) It is tricky to register KeePass in PM;
(ii) PM then gets confused by ‘hidden' entry of a master password during fingerprint login to KeePass, and repeatedly tries to save ****** as a changed master password;
(iii) PM also tries to automatically register each entry opened for editing within KeePass;
(iv) PM tries to automatically register other logins even if they are managed through KeePass.
(v) Your KeePass records are now only as secure as your PM login (which is likely to be your Windows login).
The solutions: or workarounds at least
The best workarounds I could develop for these five issues were:
(i) To register KeePass in PM, first ensure that PM is running (icon in the system tray). Then launch KeePass, click the login window box for unobscured password display (three blue dots turn black), enter the master password and click OK to start KeePass as usual.
If PM does not offer to save an entry for KeePass by this stage, try ‘plan B'. Open a window to edit an entry in KeePass, then click Cancel. PM seems to recognise this more readily as a login window and may offer to create an entry. Accept the offer, and name the entry KeePass. Then open PM to edit the saved entry. You will have to edit several fields to achieve an effective PM entry for KeePass:
The title field must be "Open database - database.kdb", to match the title of the KeePass login window.
The file name field should show the full path to KeePass.exe (something like C:\Program Files\KeePass\PeePass.exe depending on your installation).
The login and password data field is accessed by double clicking the entry. It will need to show only your KeePass master password (in the unobscured text view). In login and password data, delete each line of unwanted text until you get to the final password line (shown as *****), and edit this line to provide your master password.
In the Advanced tab, select auto-fill and auto-submit and the desired security level [see (v) below]. Then select OK to get to the PM front window, and File - Save Changes, then Exit.
Now when you close and re-launch KeePass, PM should automatically intervene (requesting a fingerprint to complete the KeePass login if you selected that security level. Select ‘No' when PM asks to change the password [see (ii) below].
If you had no luck, try ‘plan C'. Close KeePass completely, then launch it again to open the login window. Then right-click the PM icon in the system tray, open the ‘Type and Transfer Tool', click the box for unobscured password display, type in the KeePass master password, drag the cross-hairs to the password field in the waiting KeePass login window, and release the password there. Click OK to start KeePass as usual, then click OK to close the PM transfer window. If there is still no KeePass entry in PM, check that KeePass has not been included in the PM excluded programs list. If this sequence does not work, reboot and check again. Failing all else, any entry that PM succeeds in making from any login page can be edited to an effective KeePass entry by editing fields as described above for ‘plan B'.
PM (v3.00) can be coy to associate initially, but it will accept KeePass (v1.14) as a password-managed program, and thereafter it reliably succeeds to auto-submit the KeePass login after some help described in (ii) below.
(ii) Having sent the correct master password to the KeePass login window, PM becomes confused by the ‘hidden' text now in the password field, and offers to change its record of your KeyPass master password to ******. You can manually select ‘No' in the PM changed-password dialogue box that appears every time you use PM / fingerprint for KeePass login. But Beware: if you ever accidentally select ‘Yes' (the default) your KeePass master password record in PM will be changed to ******. This can be edited to provide the correct password again, but it is more than a minor pain in the AR5E. Unless you know (or have a backup of) your KeePass master password you just lost access to your KeePass database!
To avoid this big nuisance and risk, you can set up to restart KeePass for each use from a desktop shortcut (instead of minimising it to the system tray) and have the shortcut run a batch file with vbs scripts that send the ‘No' message to PM automatically.
Here is an example batch file, with corresponding vbs scripts. You can make all these files using Notepad and save the files with the names indicated, into the KeePass program directory (C:\Program Files\KeePass in this example).
KeePass.bat (This launches KeePass and tells PM v3 not to change the password. Caution: If Lenovo changed PM program design in future, the effect could change; the batch file might send {TAB}{ENTER} keystrokes to another open window on your computer):
C:
cd\
cd "C:\Program Files\KeePass"
start " " "C:\Program Files\KeePass\KeePass.exe" "C:\Program Files\KeePass\Database.kdb"
start /w Sleep.vbs 1
start /w AppActivate.vbs
start /w SendKeys.vbs
Sleep.vbs (provides a short delay to open the ThinkVantage dialogue window, otherwise the following scripts fail because they are sent too soon):
Wscript.Sleep Wscript.Arguments(0) * 1000
AppActivate.vbs (puts focus on the ThinkVantage Password change dialogue window so that Tab and Enter commands are not sent elsewhere with undesired effects):
CreateObject("WScript.Shell").AppActivate "ThinkVantage Password Manager"
SendKeys.vbs (sends a ‘No' response to the PM request to change its KeePass entry):
CreateObject("WScript.Shell").SendKeys "{TAB}{ENTER}"
Please substitute ) where you see smileywink: in the vbs scripts above - I can't get this forum window to stop automatically translating the " ) sequence of text (without a space) as an emoticon.
This batch file approach should work with additional startup switches for KeePass, for example the /backup.path: switch used by ‘another backup' plugin (or you can use the db_backup plugin that works from the KeePass.ini file). Quotes are needed around any entry with spaces. But some things that ‘should work' such as just writing "KeePass.exe" instead of the full path in line 4 of the batch file do not give the same outcome for me. This may be an effect on timing of the switch of focus between windows - so if you strike a problem it may be worth experimenting with the delay time set through the sleep script.
If you set KeePass to lock when minimised, you will have to deal manually with the PM changed-password dialogue every time you re-access KeePass. So it is simpler to close rather than minimise KeePass after each use and restart it when needed, via the batch file.
(iii) You have to tell PM ‘No' whenever it offers to save an entry that is edited in KeePass. This is less of a nuisance, because entries rarely need to be edited once set up in Keepass. There is no way to turn off this requirement. If you select ‘Never' it will prevent use of PM and therefore fingerprint entry to start KeePass (not just the edit window).
(iv) Turn off internet login within PM. This will leave all internet logins to KeePass. Unfortunately you can not set PM to only allow a single program login (KeePass), but you can set it to exclude specific programs, so do that for other programs that you access via KeePass.
(v) Finally, set PM security within CSS so that a fingerprint (or a password if the fingerprint reader fails) is needed every time PM is launched (not just once per boot). Similarly, set KeePass security this way within PM. Otherwise (if you set the requirement to once per boot) your passwords are open to inspection while you are away from your booted computer.
Caution: How secure is your Windows login password? Most likely this is also your PM login password, so it now allows access to your KeePass database! Make sure that it is a unique, secure and preferably memorable password.
How close are we now to the desired combination of security and convenience?
Click on the KeePass shortcut to the batch file given above, swipe the fingerprint, wait while CSS works, then click on the relevant Keepass entry to access any password-protected site or application in your Keypass list - great convenience.
Security is very strong - both KeePass and PM are extremely secure unless you use a weak or insecure master password or select less secure settings.
Starting (or opening a locked instance of) KeePass without the batch file given above requires a couple of extra carefully-placed clicks in the process to tell PM not to mess up its entry for KeePass, then to complete KeePass startup. This is less convenient, and a mistake could prevent future database access - so the batch file method is recommended.
A final caution (while enjoying secure & convenient logins):
Beware - fingerprint access is so convenient that you may forget your master passwords! Eventually they will be needed! You may click the wrong button in PM, suffer a faulty fingerprint reader or change computers! Then you must recall your master passwords before you can access your password file (and possibly your computer). This could be devastating: loss of all secure password information in KeePass and PM (and possibly loss of all information on a protected computer drive, not to mention need to pay for a computer motherboard and HDD replacement). So:
1. Choose very secure but ‘unforgettable' master passwords for KeePass and computer (PM) access.
2. Always set up a secure master password as an alternative to biometric authentication (in case of a faulty fingerprint reader).
3. Keep your password database backups, and your separate master password backups, in another secure (preferably encrypted) but accessible location!
Program versions tested:
KeePass v1.14 (v2 betas not tested) with KeeForm v2 and DB_Backup v1.14
Lenovo CSS v8.20 with PM v3.00
The solutions were tested in November 2008 on a Thinkpad X61 running Windows Vista Business. The tricks to interface with KeePass can vary between fingerprint programs (search the KeePass forum).

I'm reviving quite an old topic here, but I have been unable to find any other good information on this. I currently use the latest version of Keepass v2.23 and have Lenovo Passoword Manager v4.3 installed on my new W530 laptop. I can't get PM to recognize any passowords at all, in web browsers or in windows application.
In PM the only thing I can do is create folders and secure notes. My fingerprint software works great for automated logins to windows. Does anyone have any experience with using the fingerprint reader with a windows application like Keepass?
How can I get the Password manager to do ... anything? Recognize a password in windows or a web browser?
I'm open to any other software to be used or I can write scripts if necessary to accomplish this. It doesn't seem like this should be so difficult, but from what I've learned about Lenovo so far, is that nothing is easy. After trying to get battery charge thresholds working proplery in Windows 8, I've already lost faith in a company that I thought had a great reputation.

Password Manager 4.6 and 4.7 causes CPU loop in tzres.dll

T510 running Windows 7x64. T510 is in a constant CPU loop with WMIPRVSE consuming the CPU as per Process Explorer. Using Microsoft Sysinterals Process Monitor determine that the cause is constant calls to access tzres.dll. Reboot in clean mode and one my one activate services and startup programs until the loop is observed. It is only observed when Password Manager is started. Do an uninstall of 4.7 and the problem goes away. Start with 4.0 of Password Manager. Each release from 4.0 to 4.5 work fine with no loop. Installing 4.6 or 4.7 cause the loop. All Lenovo drivers and programs are current.
Any ideas? Tom

I'm testing a beta version of Password Manager which has solved the issue that I was experiencing.

A password manager for Midori

Hello to everyone,
being a would-be Midori user that lacks a password manager, some time ago I made a script that worked as a password manager. Now I've made a Midori extension for this task and made it available on AUR http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=49314. From the README file in the package:
The password manager extension for Midori is based on formhistory.c and on my
userscript for password management (http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/62098).
It works by reading the network passwords with domain "midori" from the login
keyring and storing them in a GHashTable. Whenever your browser loads a page
with a corresponding address in the GHashTable, a script that inserts user
and password is built and executed on that page. Whenever you submit a login
form, a similar script is built and executed, and returns the new data, which
is stored in the GHashTable and in the login keyring.
When you choose to never store a password for a site, the extension will store
a user/password pair equal to __never_store_here__/whatever. The user part of
the pair (i.e. __never_store_here__) is used to remember that passwords must
not be stored.
Sometimes the extension fails to detect that a form has been submitted, so it
won't store your user/password pair. In such cases use the lpins utility to
manually insert the pair into the login keyring, like this
$ lpins http://www.averystrangelogin.com user password
Note that the pair is inserted in the login keyring, not in the GHashTable, so
you need to deactivate/reactivate the extension so it'll read the new pair.
Missing features:
* I don't know how to check when the login is successful, so wrong user-
password pairs will be stored.
* There isn't a utility for listing/deleting/modifying passwords, use seahorse
for these tasks (Midori passwords have domain "midori").
* I don't know how to deal with password forms that uses md5hash for basic
protection (like ubuntu forums), so the extension won't work for these sites.
Please note that I'm not an expert in internet security, crypting algorithms,

own risk.
I sent this extension upstream, but the author, Christian Dywan, would like to have it merged with form history. Which is beyond the limited time I can spend on these activities.
Please send bug reports and comments in the AUR comments area of the package.

You should really consider calling support and having them clarify their licensing agreements for you, because you are grossly incorrect about almost everything you've said.
RoboForm Everywhere and only RoboForm Everywhere is an annual subscription (allowing you to use any RoboForm product on all of your devices for one annual fee).
the RoboForm Desktop and RoboForm2Go products are still a one time charge for the life of the version and do not have to be renewed annually at all. They do not expire.
Also, what older mac version are you hoping to revert back to? RoboForm for mac was just released as a full version (not a beta) within the past few months. Mac users cannot revert back to an older version of the Mac software because there is no older version. If you purchased a license of your mac, the current version is still included with the license you already own. There is no previous version.
Although the .rfp filetype is used only by RoboForm and not compatible with other password managers, you can still export the data to create a backup. You can also created a printed list of your data if needed.
You are not entitled to Windows 7 for free just because you bought Windows Vista and RoboForm (as well as most software) is no different. I understand why you may be unhappy about the upgrade but you should research more.
Also, LastPass has had multiple security breaches in the past year, RoboForm has had none in the history of the company, just something to think about.

Password Manager 4 and IE9 webpage failure

I have Password Manager 4 installed on my W520 Windows 7 SP1 -64Bit OS. I am experiencing an IE9 failure when accessing a particular webiste; The error displayed is as follows:
I've isolated the issue to the following add-on:
IePasswordManagerHelperClass 12/26/2011 Version 4.0.18.0
If I disable the add-on, I can access the website. Re-enabling the add-on causes the failure again. Any ideas here? I've uninstalled and reinstalled the Password Manager without any change in behavior. All of my other sites work fine. There is no logon entry at all for the website, so the code must be getting confused by the content. The same site works fine using the Chrome Browser!

Firefox3 and Password Manager

I've been waiting to upgrade to Firefox3 untill the Password Manager worked with it.
Today System Update promised me such a feature. I installed Firefox3, downloaded the patch
to make Password Manager work with it, installed it and hoped. Vain hope . . .
When I tried to login to the Lenovo Community it didn't fill in my name or password. I can access
the Password Manager from within Firefox3, and it shows this address as one of its sites.
Also, after it didn't fill in the responses for me, it didn't ask me if I wanted to save them.
Apparently I rushed to judgement.

Bob, thanks for your update. Based on your success, I attempted to download FF3 again and finally achieved success this morning. The method I had to go though was as follows:
Disabled the ThinkVantage Password Manager 2.0 add-on within FF2
Unintalled FF2
Tried to install CSS Patch for FF3 provided by Lenovo on 8/6/08 found here, but received feedback that patch had already been installed, which is a true statement:CSS Patch for FF3
Installed FF3 (3.0.3)
Noted that the ThinkVantage Password Manager 2.0 add-on was greyed out and could not be enabled - I thought the patch was supposed to address this!!
Had to work through this process found at: Password Manager incompatible with Firefox 3
Find tvtpwm_moz_xpi.xpi in Client Security Solution install directory (C:\Program Files\Lenovo\Client Security Solution)
Open it using your fav zip program (I used 7-Zip)
Change install.rdf and update <em:maxVersion>2.0+</em:maxVersion> to <em:maxVersion>3.0+</em:maxVersion>
Open chrome/tvtpwm.jar
Edit content/tvtpwm.js and replace window.addEventListener("load", onLoad, true); with following:
window.addEventListener("load", function () { gBrowser.addEventListener("load", onLoad, true); }, false);
Install tvtpwm_moz_xpi.xpi. Go to Firefox's 'File' menu, select 'Open File', navigate to your directory containing the file (in my case, it's 'C:\Program Files\Lenovo\Client Security Solution'), and select it. This will bring up the "Add-ons" installer. Click install and restart Firefox when prompted.
So far, I have had no issues with auto population of username/password. I went through this exact same process multiple times in the past without success. Now, I am wondering if the latest rev. of FF3 (3.0.3) has allowed for better stability with the password manager. I still do not understand what the CSS Patch for FF3 was supposed to ever do. In my opinion, it should have performed what I had to perform manually above.
Question: When I look at my add-ons, the ThinkVantage Password Manager still shows "2.0". It works fine, but should this have changed to 3.0?
