programs attempt to dial
Ever since I installed the latest version of Messenger 8 a couple of weeks
ago, Windows tries to dial my internet connection whenever I open other programs such as Windows Explorer. Normally, it only brought up a dial-up dialogue box whenever I opened Internet Explorer (which asked me if I wanted to connect to the net), but now it does it for other programs too. Also, it brings up my dial-up dialogue box whenever I start Messenger - even if I am already connected to the net. I've tried to change the settings in the IE Tools/Internet Options/Connections dialogue, but that only stops the dial-up dialogue box from appearing at all (even for IE). Does anybody know how to fix this problem? (I'm using Windows XP Pro) |

If not, just disable dial up altogether YOu can also try reconfiguring your inet connection start-run-inetwiz -- Alan_F |

If you have Windows Messenger to start up every time windows starts, that
used to be a problem. If this is the case, you can disable it under your options. The last time i had this problem was with windows 98, lol.
