| 143852 | 2003-05-14 19:24:00 | So that is the term!apologies for any misunderstanding. Having said all was well,the the thing disconnected,I went to internet properties to look and found it had switched to never dial up and was greyed out.so of course couldn't change as desired. |

| 143853 | 2003-05-14 21:18:00 | In your first post you said "I switch on always dial up" can you not now select "Always dial my default" and click Apply and OK If you can, and next time you go back to check it has changed to "Never dial a connection" then something is changing it and I would still suspect spyware so run Ad-Aware again or use Spybot as well. tsadbot.exe can cause this problem. It is a programme that is used to generate advertising on your computer, and is installed by shareware programmes. Your dialup settings may also change if you have Norton Anti-Virus with the Auto-Protect turned on. Try turning turn off the Auto-protect and set it to scan program files only. If all selections are greyed out check this. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Internet Settings (EnableAutodial should be set to 01 00 00 00) |

| 143855 | 2003-05-15 01:31:00 | It might be best if you don't go into the registry if you are not familiar with it. Regarding my previous post can you select "Always dial my default connection" or is this not possible. Need to know what is is you can or can't do and what exactly is happening. |

| 143859 | 2003-05-15 09:37:00 | I am getting a bit confused with all this so lets start again and set everything back to normal. With Internet Explorer Open go to Tools/Internet Options Click on the Connections Tab If your ISP connection does not have default alongside it, click once on the ISP connection to highlight and click on Set Default. There are 3 circles underneath, click on the one which says "Always dial my default connection" Click on Apply and then OK With Outlook Express open click on Tools/Options With the General tab selected, remove any ticks from "Send and receive messages at startup" and also from "Check for new messages every xx mins" Click Apply at the bottom Click on the Connection Tab, Remove any tick from the box "Hang up after sending and receiving" Leave "Ask before switching dialup connections" ticked if you can. Click Apply and OK With Outlook Express still open click on Tools/Accounts Click on the Mail Tab Click on Properties on the right Click on the Connections Tab Remove any tick from the box "Always connect to this account using" Click Apply and OK See how that goes. |
