So I don't enter a password and close the box, but it keeps coming up each time I turn the computer on. How can I stop this coming up please? Once I close this dialogue box after not typing in a password it takes ages for the computer to continue loading Windows 98.	Guest (0)

This should remove the password box and speed it up. Reboot to check. If you still suffer slow boot times, right click My Computer and select properties/device manager/network adapters, highlight the entry for your network adapter, click properties and tick 'disable in this profile' then OK & reboot again. If those steps don't help, post again. Cheers Billy 8-{)	Guest (0)
