| 143774 | 2003-05-13 09:27:00 | Our dial up connection attempts to dial a connection as soon as W98 SE starts. Our W98 set up requires a user name and password, but the dial up connection attempts to connect before a user name or password are entered. We do not know what program makes it do this as it never used to. How do we stop it. |

| 143776 | 2003-05-13 10:09:00 | First thing is to find out the program that is causing this. Go start-run and type in msconfig Then click on the start TAB and you can untick things you know, to stop running on startup. Usually caused by programs that want an update from the internet. But can also be malicious. Any queries, post back here. Further clarification etc... |

RealPlayer RealDownload WinAmpAgent ICQ MIRC WindowsUpdate MSMSGS BigFix GetRight Napster Zone alarm is known to cause this problem especially after an update. Not sure if there is any fix for that but selecting Never dial a connection in IE options/Connections will stop it but you will need to create a shortcut for your dialip connection so you can dialup and connect. |
