79828 2002-09-15 22:56:00 Hi,
In my re install etc I now have a "pre dial window" appear which says press F7 or click on the window, before the normal "dial up" window activates- how do I get rid of that requirement - it was not there before my crashes etc- it is about the size of the video window - say from the BBC - news bulletins-or whatever

79830 2002-09-16 01:25:00 Is this the "terminal screen" window?

If it is, in Dial-up Networking (My Computer), right click on your ISP, choose Properties>Scripting and put a tick in "Start terminal screen minimized".

79831 2002-09-16 06:50:00 Thank you Susan B - as usual you are a lifesaver-- BUT- it did not work-- I have ( through economics sake 2 ISP - one for my permanent address but which the firm wants an arm and a leg to have idefinite usuage and another which though not as widespread as the first - is comparitively cheaper over long usuage..
The first firm - does not have that predial screen show- and your advice was spot on for that - But when I came to the second ISP and found the tick was missing / ticked it- but it made no difference
Keep coming Susan B you must be on the right track - would it need a reboot to activate?

79832 2002-09-16 07:39:00 No Susan B a reboot did not work- the tick was missing on the errant ISP as you stated but-------
I copied the settings in the ISP window- each is identical to the other
more ---please?

79834 2002-09-16 11:04:00 Sorry effie but I can't think of anything else to try. :-(

Maybe you could phone your ISP's helpline and ask them?

79835 2002-09-16 11:31:00 This is how you prevent the terminal window appearing
Double click my computer
Double click dialup networking
Right click ISP connection icon and left click Properties
Click Configure at the bottom
Click on Options Tab at the top
Remove ticks from both boxes Bring up terminal window before and after dialing
Click OK at the bottom.

79837 2002-09-17 06:36:00 Ah, so that's where it was! I knew there was somewhere else that had to be done but for some reason didn't look in the Configure option box.

Good one Jim B! :-)
