Dial-Up Networking box pops up randomly

I am having the same problem. After reading your post,
I checked the msconfig/startup and there about 8 programs
listed. Is there a way to find out which one is causing
this.
Thanks for any help.

There are two things you can do, Chris - one is easier
than the other but both will work

You can set your machine to "Never dial a connection" in
Control Panel -- Internet Options -- Connections, or:

You can locate the program that's running in the
background that's trying to call home and disable it.
Without knowing a whole lot about your machine I'm not
sure I can tell you what that is - but if you
run "msconfig" and disable the program that's running on
startup that wants to call home that should also solve
your problem.

good luck!

The Dial-Up Networking box keeps popping up when I
don't
need it and is generally making a nuisance of itself.
The
box appears once Windows starts up, and if I close it
it
will reappear at seemingly random times. I don't have
any
internet applications like Messenger or Outlook set to
run
automatically, so I don't understand what's causing
this
behavior. If someone could tell me what settings I need
to
change or what fixes I need to install I'd appreciate
it
a
great deal. Thanks!
