dial up window
The dial-up window, the one I use to start my telephone call to my internet provider, keeps popping up uncalled for. This is a nuisance only, except when trying to run a game, like Myst, which crashes when that dial-up window appears. The popping up seems to be, maybe, a response to my movement of the mouse. It's as if whatever calls up that window has a nervous trigger finger. This unwanted popping up occurs, mostly, when preparing to go on line, as when Internet Explorer and/or Outlook express is running. Thanks for any help. Larry D |

Such errors are often caused by spyware - download AdAware from
www.lavasoftusa.com, install, update, and run it to remove spyware, adware, and other such nasties from your system. -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2004, Win9x) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.btinternet.com/~winnoel/millsrpch.htm Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's or http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/f.../Mar27pmvp.asp "Larry Dessner" wrote in message ...

Thanks. I found the culprit. McAfey's spamkiller
automatically checks for updates, but that option can be deselected. ljd -----Original Message----- Such errors are often caused by spyware - download AdAware from www.lavasoftusa.com, install, update, and run it to remove spyware, adware, and other such nasties from your system. -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2004, Win9x) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.btinternet.com/~winnoel/millsrpch.htm Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's or http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/f...2001/Mar01/Mar 27pmvp.asp "Larry Dessner" wrote in message ...
