JSI Tip 2959. 'Protected Storage' error when a Windows 2000 roaming profile user logs onto Windows NT 4.0 to complete an IE form?

When you logon to a Windows NT 4.0 computer and use Internet Explorer to complete a form, you receive:

Protected Storage

Protected Storage uses your Windows password to protect your personal data.

Protected Storage has detected data created with a previous version. To continue to use this data, enter your Windows password below.
