The autofill in my google toolbar stays dim which means it is not in use. However when I go into the google settings and bring up the autofill it shows all my information correctly and a check mark in front. Why doesn't it work???????

Fool around with your settings on your Google toolbar. I haven't gotten that to work myself but I've heard you can do it, I just don't know how.

Don't have an answer, but a further data point- A similar question was asked about a week ago: \n\n==========\nWhy did the yahoo! news ticker stop working yesterday (10-30-06)?\nThis cool utility (My Yahoo! News Ticker) by NetControls worked so well for 6+ years. Suddenly, yesterday (10-30-06), it stopped. It now loads, updates, then quits (winXP). On win98, it loads and then a notice of illegal function pops up. What happened on 10-30-06 to make it stop functioning? \n==========\n\nThe question was deleted without an answer, but you can see it in Google's cache here: http://preview.tinyurl.com/yamsg3\n\nI'm experiencing the same problem as in that question, and I too would like to know what happened.

physically type your browser address in when you start the change...about blank did this to me one time and it drove me nuts.I also went to the spacebar and back spaced one letter at a time and low and behold a window pops up with all the different choices for your web browser,click on the one you want when this happens

I can't remember seeing a setting in PM 7 to resize toolbars and am not at a computer right now that has it installed but I doubt there is one.\nMost likely changing the screen size in Display Properties would be the answer (if on a pc that is) but be careful of not going to large or you might not be able to see the OK and Cancel buttons at the bottom of dialog boxes.

I use the yahoo toolbar on FireFox as it gives me more functionality. Here is what it is configured like: search, antispyware & popup blocking, my web, add to my yahoo, my yahoo, e-mail, 360°, calendar, contacts, address book, bookmarks,weather, briefcase, notepad, translate, photos, news, yahoogroups & geocities. Although I like google a lot, it will last it times before it offers such a functionality!

It is hilarious.  Typing in "miserable failure" also works.  However, this is not a statement by the Googlemasters.  These results are generated because of a practice called "googlebombing" wherein pranksters can cause certain results to show up.

If that's the same bar that shows up at the top of Answers, then that's part of the webpage and not so much a toolbar.  The stuff in there is stored as a result of IE's AutoComplete function (Tools-Internet Options, click on Content tab).  You can control what gets stored there on this tab, or you can delete everything by going to the General tab and clicking on Clear History.  Alternatively, if you double click the Search the Web box, you can see all of the items you searched for.  If you hover your pointer on one of the items in the list, you can hit Delete on your keyboard to delete specific ones if you wanted to keep others in the list.

See if your toolbar has an "option" selection somewhere.  You should be able to make changes there.\n\nIf that doesn't work, try scanning your computer for spyware.  I've heard of some search bars being spyware.

Yahoo! Toolbar will remember your recent searches so that you can easily find the things you searched for previously. However, there are several ways you can clear the search history in the toolbar. \n\nIf you want to remove all the entries in your search history right now, but you still want Yahoo! Toolbar to remember your searches in the future, do the following: \n\nClick on the Pencil menu \nSelect "Clear Recent Searches" \nIf you want to save your recent searches while you're searching on the web, but to automatically clear the saved searches when you close your browser window, do the following: \n\nClick on the Pencil menu \nSelect "Toolbar Options" \nSelect "Auto clear recent searches when exiting IE" so that there is a checkmark in the box next to it. \nClick "OK" \nIf you want to disable the feature entirely so none of your searches are saved, do the following: \n\nClick on the Pencil menu \nSelect "Toolbar Options" \nClick "Remember Recent Searches" so that there is not a checkmark in the box next to it \nClick "OK" \nNote: Yahoo! Toolbar for Mozilla Firefox currently does not have the ability to disable the search history or automatically clear it on exit. Those features will be added in a future release. \n\nIf you have disabled the search history in Yahoo! Toolbar but are still seeing items suggested when you type, your browser is saving that information. For Internet Explorer, check your options under Tools>Internet Options>AutoFill. For Mozilla Firefox, check Tools>Options>Privacy>Saved Form Information.

Go to [Tools]/{Options}\n\nclick on the [Content] tab\n\nClick the [Autocomplete] button\n\nTurn off all the Autocomplete options, and click the [Clear] buttons.\n\nAnd it's not stalking you.  It's just a convenience feature.  It's not sending that info out anywhere.
