IT Queries: Computer problems answered

Running Windows XP and usual Windows e-mail and internet programs.

Problem is the dial-up window keeps appearing un invited and it takes 3 attempts to cancel it. Even then it will soon re-appear. I have only one ISP entered into the dial up system.

The problem is the computer has been set to connect to the Internet via a dial up networking connection everytime it needs something from the network.

To fix this, you need to change the Internet connection settings. Click Start, Control Panel and go to Internet Options.

In the Internet Settings box, click on the Connections tab and change the radio button to Never dial a connection.

Click Okay and the connection will go away.

Keep in mind this will mean you will have to manually connect every time you want to go onto the Internet through dial up networking.
