28474 2001-12-24 05:48:00 Help. my friend has purchased a 2nd hand pc. Set up her email etc. When using ie, then sending mail, the pc disconnects explorer, reconnects to send through o/look express.
She only has one connection in the control panel. Why does this happen? How can i fix it for her?

Merry Xmas

28475 2001-12-24 07:57:00 That is what is supposed to happen. OE is the EMail prog. There is nothing to fix. Happy Xmas Guest (0)
28476 2001-12-24 08:17:00 ...okay, from the Control Panel go: Internet Options > Connections tab > Settings > Advanced > then remove the 'check' from box marked 'disconnect when connection may no longer be needed' > Click Okay / Okay / Okay.

Your friend will now be able to open and close (or move between) Internet Explorer and Outlook Express without dropping her modem's connection.

Cheers!!!
