IE5.5
Opera5.x

When exiting from these programs (each brings up an auto disconnect box as required) the following happens:

1. We choose disconnect
2. Modem disconnects and all necessary programs close :)
3. Internet connection box reappears!!

It doesn't automatically reconnect so it is only nuisance value.

Any ideas?
TIA

Do you have that running, as I have found sometimes it can cause the dialup networking to start up. I tried getting MS to fix it, but they never did. Try closing MSN Messenger and set it to not start when you start Windows. Guest (0)
