Trying to Dial-Up when booting
I used to use a dial in service (Worldnet), but now use
cable internet - no longer need to dial. For some reason, every time I boot my laptop, it wants to dial into Worldnet, and wants me to select Connect or Cancel. I had deleted the DUN connection for Worldnet a long time ago. Also, my Internet Properties - Connections is set to never dial - and even if I turn that on, Worldnet is not an option (because it had been deleted). How can I get it to stop? Thanks! |

You may have a custom program placed in your Startup by Worldnet. Start/Run/msconfig.exe/Startup : do you see anything there that looks like it might be a connect program? Also, ControlPanel/AddRemove/Programs/InstallUninstall : is Worldcom still hanging around in there? Rick |

There doesn't appear to be anything in the msconfig startup. Brian |
