To view internet content that has been saved on your computer, click work offline. Apparently they had a couple housesitting, and while they were there downloaded and installed some programs. My friend said he uninstalled them but doesn't remember what they were. First I checked what was in the start-up folder and pressed ctrl+alt+del to see what programs were running. Nothing looked out of place. I did a selective start-up in msconfig, removing all the checks. It still happened. I went throught the registry, searching for "run," runonce" and "runservices." nothing. I did a search online and found some forums talking about this issue. Some offer the solution to select "never dial a connection" or to tick the "automatically detect settings" box in the LAN settings. I tried these and they didn't work. I would really appreciate any help with resolving this. It's just a minor annoyance to them, but I'd like a chance to make them think I'm brilliant :) Cheers g I checked the start-up screen in msconfig and couldn't find anything in it	glenn (177)
