1) Every so often I get a message in red which says "An error occurred while attempting to contact the server. Please check your Internet connection. error=10 reason=xmlhtperror"
It doesn't affect anything, and I just close the message by clicking on the X.
2) Also, I have Windows 8 with Internet Explorer. When using the Desktop to surf the net (IE9), Webroot Password Manager works fine; but when using IE10 from the new Start page, the Password Manager doesn't even show up. Is there a way to get it to work?

Password Manager for IE problem & IE10 question
Best answer by JimM
The toolbar fix might help with issue 1. Issue 2 is by design on Microsoft's part. You can't have add-ons in the Start version of IE.

Sorry to hear you are having trouble with the password manager. I can confirm it works fine for IE10, though.
Run the Toolbar Fix Tool and see if this takes care of the issue.

So I guess the only way the Password Manager will work for Windows 8 is by using the Desktop to access Internet Explorer. That's aggravating that Microsoft would set it up so you can't choose if you want to use an add-on for IE10. Thks for the info.

That is correct. I forgot all about the metro mode of IE10 - I never use that mode due to the issues you encountered. The desktop mode still is my favorite.@ wrote:
