| 344800 | 2005-04-14 10:43:00 | Friend asked to have a look at her computer for the above reason. Some months ago I installed AVG,adaware and Spybot. I ran Spybot and Adaware,between them there were about 20 do da's,which I deleted,AVG found a virus and a Trojan. Apart from Avg which updates itself,neither had been updated for about 3 months. The result is,no luck with connecting. Being only 2 steps ahead of friend,what next? Oh when it dials up she gets can't connect due to error 87. XP. Thank you in advance. |

| 344804 | 2005-04-14 13:04:00 | I would delete the old connection and create a new one first. Start - Run "inetwiz" Connect using my phone line Create a new dial up networking connection option Type in 087 as the area code and the rest of the number for the ISP Country code: New Zealand 64 Tick use area code and dialing rules Enter your username and password If that dosent work you could try your system restore. |

| 344805 | 2005-04-14 19:09:00 | When you say can't connect, do you mean it dials in and connects but unable to load websites or do you mean the dialup connection fails with an error number. That error number you quote is not a normal error number, it is usually 3 numbers such as 680 691 etc. See if you can get a useful error number by dialing with all programs closed by going to Start/Connect To/Connection name. |

| 344806 | 2005-04-14 20:57:00 | Error 87 is a valid modem error. Windows 9x or 2k: In some cases the Dialup Networking entries may become corrupted. If this happens, delete the DUN profile from the Dialup Networking window. Then Create a New Connection. |

Couldn't find the DUN profile,please allow for some slowness on this end. Rob,do you mean I should change 03 I found in a test run here,to 087? |

| 344809 | 2005-04-14 22:06:00 | I would check the country in the dialup see if its the right country / area code (if any) and also check the username and password. Make sure its the right password. And also the right dialup number. |
