| 188374 | 2003-11-01 03:44:00 | Hi folks, I use Windows 2000 and lately when I click on the dial-up connection icon (tv screen icon) on the system tray to disconnect there is no response. The ihug connection status dialogue box always used to show and I could click on the disconnect button. Now there the ihug connection status box does not appear. When this occurs I can often right click over the icon and succesfully click on disconnect. I hear the modem click confirming the disconnect. (lately sometimes right clicking produces no response either) Sometimes I try to double click on the Short cut to IHUG on the desktop to obtain the ihug connection status dialogue box to click the disconnect button. Recently that method is also failing to respond to the mouse clicks although the mouse clicks work rapidly on other icons. What action can I take to ensure a normal response when clicking on the system tray dial-up connection icon? Thank you |

| 188378 | 2003-11-01 17:13:00 | Thanks for your rapid reply Mike, I meant to say double clicking with the left button produced no effect . Although on boot up the dial-up network icon usually responds correctly . I am inclined to think that it may be related to some permission asked for and granted shortly after by ZoneAlarm Pro . Can't think of why else the dial-up networking icon ceases to respond . Regards, |
