Another thing to check

  1. Still using Internet Explorer Version 6, navigate to the "General Tab" after selecting "Tools"
  2. Select "Temporary Internet Files" and then "Settings"
  3. Make sure it is set to "Automatically" and that the amount of disk space is at least 4000 MB

One more thing

  • Make sure that Banner user preferences have not been changed

  • Default value needs to be set to "FILE"

Passwords: See if they have recently changed their password to include characters. There are a few characters that have been found to be problematic to include in the password and it also seems that it depends on where the character is located in the string.
