IE does not save proxy settings

Hi,

I have a Win98 PC that once was connected through
a proxy server, and thus I had checked the "Use
Proxy Server" check box in the Connections -> LAN
Settings and typed in the proxy's IP address and
port.

Recently, the PC's owners gotan ADSL connection
to the Internet, so I removed the proxy server,
set up the PC accordingly and removed the Proxy
Settings in Internet Explorer 5.

Everything works fine, but every once in a while,
IE5 remembers its former proxy settings, and
checks the Proxy check box, and even re-inserts
the former proxy IP address and port!

This only happens on one particular PC in the
network.

How can this happen, and how do I get rid of this
weird behaviour?

Thanks and best regards,Rolf Nordeide.

Check to make sure there are not other instances of IE running in the background. Make your changes and reboot.
also if there is not proxy involved in your network now be sure to unchec that "automaticly detect settings" is not selected

Make sure that under your advanced settings in IE that the box next to automatically check for IE updates is unchecked.
