Default need some pc help

ok so for the past week my computer wont save sites in my address bar. it also will not save my sign in screen names/passwords on any websites (hmt, youtube, email, myspace, ebay and so on)..
say i type in some websites in the address bar it will save them for just a few hours.. then after that when i click on the down arrow thingy on the address bar they will all be gone?

any ideas what might be causing this?

On internet exploder:

Tools > Internet Options > Content

Click AutoComplete button...
Make sure "web addresses" is checkmarked


Tools > Internet Options > Privacy

Security settings could be set too high


Tools > Internet Options > Security

Turn it back to default level


Still not working?

Click advanced tab and go to "Reset" (version 7+) or restore defaults (version 6 and below)


Any anti-spyware/internet security software that could be deleting those files?


If all else fails, do the right thing and download/install firefox.
