| 297977 | 2004-11-29 22:40:00 | On Windows XP platform (SP2), IE does not display the Dialup Connection window when I try to load IE (I've done something to upset it). I can connect normally using Outlook Express, MailWasher or the desktop dialup icon, so the 'connections' setup for the ISP is OK. (Always use default connection, etc) If I go into 'programs' > IE and try the 'setup.exe' file, I get the same type of error, the homepage starts to load but indicates that it can't be found and the dialup window does not display. I can get the dialup window by one of the other means and then connect. Once connected, i can browse normally. I tried 'add/remove windows components' from control panel, etc where i removed the tick against IE (apply>OK) and then added the tick again. I tried 'never dial a connection' and then resetting with 'always dial my default connection'. Should I delete the IE folder in the 'programs' file and then try to re-install from the winxp disk (How?) and what should I do about the updates from the XP SP2 disk? Gary |

| 297979 | 2004-12-01 14:08:00 | What version of IE do you have? Option 2 install firefox 1 much nicer. I ask because if you dont have the latest (IE) you may be able to fix the caulender buy upgrading/dating it. Hopefully some of the very wise will come and give you an easier fix. D. |

When I click on Firefox my homepage comes up, but not the dial up connection. Instead, dial-up tab shows on my taskbar in grey, and I have to click on that to make dialup appear on screen. It's almost as if it is behind the Firefox on my screen. Does anything appear on your taskbar? |

| 297984 | 2004-12-01 19:52:00 | Hi All I have tried "Dial whenever ........" and i do have other options for connecting as I mentioned in the original post. It is just that IE should show the internet connection window on activation. Gary |
