MYSTERY with Dial-up Connection
Hi,
This MYSTERY is a tough one . . . My system is PC-based, Windows 98SE, 256MB RAM, IE6 and OE6 with 56K dial-up. All software is latest and greatest available via MS downloads and upgrades courtesy of http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/en/default.asp When I click on the icon for OE or IE, my dial-up connection is invoked and the software dials into my ISP and I am connected. This is good. Unfortunately, in off-line mode, when I click on other icons on my desktop, Norton WinDoctor, for example, before loading the icon's software, my dial-up connection is invoked and the software dials into my ISP. Before connecting, I typically CANCEL the dial-up, close the Dial-up Connection window, and then the icon's software loads properly. I checked the PROPERTIES of all my desktop icons thinking there was an operator or some other instruction added to the Target: or Start in: lines, but nothing has been added - these lines are okay. I have no idea why this is happening as I can not trace it to any software that I have loaded. In fact, I have not loaded any software for several months and I clean my system ENTIRELY on a daily basis (i.e. cookies, TIFs, WinTEMP, etc.) Any thoughts MS-MVPs??? Thanks in advance. Regards, Brian Gervais

Check IE properties, advanced, scroll to bottom under the secruity area,
remove check marks from "Check four publisher's certificate revocation" and "Check of server certificate revocation". Reboot. "OFFICIAL RAM BLUEBOOK VALUATION" wrote in message ...
