On my new laptop, I applied all the Critical Updates for Windows XP, and now it doesn't want to remember several things after rebooting:

- Mouse wheel settings (I want it to scroll 3 lines per screen -- always resets back to 1 line)

- Smooth scrolling in Internet Explorer (I want it enabled -- keeps disabling when I reboot)

- Cookies (Keeps removing them upon reboot, making me have to re-logon to sites that I normally don't need to (like these forums).

Any idea what could be causing this, and more importantly, what I can do about it?

ditto, my laptop does the same too, no idea why?

Looks like I found the problem on my machine -- the Synaptics touchpad drivers.

If you don't need any fancy touchpad drivers (you can still use the touchpad without them, you just don't get the scrolling/tap zones/etc features), disable the following two entries in MSCONFIG:

SynTPEnh
SYNTPLdr

That solved the problem for me (and I narrowed down every other running task to determine this).
