IE keeps resetting autodetect proxy

I'm sorry if this has been covered. I did search for it, but couldn't find anything specific to the problem I'm having. A friend of mine (well known internet personality) just moved to an area that offers DSL. He'd been maintaining his website from dial up for the last 5 years, can't believe it.

Anyway, he's settled in his new place now and has DSL. He spent 4 hours with tech guys who couldn't help him, so I'm attempting to get him up and running this weekend. We worked through his LAN connection (all is fine), went into his LAN settings and unchecked "auto detect ". Ok'd out of there, and rebooted. The "auto detect" setting continues to default back to checked, we can't seem to get it to stop.

What could be causing this ? We believe the reason he can't finish the install of the DSL software is due to the settings of the proxy server, but can't seem to get it to take a new setting.

Any insight is GREAT ! Thank you much

I got him to send me a HJT file if it helps. Thanks
