Since Java was put on my computer it provides me with another IP log on box.
I don't need two. How can I rid myself of the Java log on box? Thanks very
much. James

Installing Java doesn't create another user. I don't know what you mean by
"another IP log on". An IP address has no log on; it's just a network
address. It is possible that you installed .Net Framework 1.1 and the
ASP.NET account was created and now you have to click your user account to
log into Windows. I'm guessing that this is possibly what you're talking
about. If that is the case, installing the .Net Framework Service Pack from
Windows Update will take care of it. Or you can follow the instructions at
the second link below (or use TweakUI) to automatically log on.

If this isn't what you meant, please clarify.

No, what I mean is that when I turn on my computer a box comes on to let me
connect to the internet with my user name and password. Now, with Java on
here I get two of those boxes. I just need one, as we all do. It's a nusance
thing. One is being put up by my I P, the other by Java. How can I get rid of
the Java connect box. James

By "I P" you mean "ISP" - Internet Service Provider? I have installed the
Java runtime on thousands of machines over the years and have never seen
this behavior. Java is a programming language that is most often used to
create web content such as the games you find on Yahoo or PopCap. It isn't
involved with connecting to the Internet at all.

You must have installed something else, but there is no way for me to guess
what that would be. I suggest you uninstall whatever it was you installed
and see if that solves your issue. If it does, contact the tech support for
whatever that program is to ask them about its behavior.

I have never seen Java do such a thing; it isn't part of Java or required by
it.

Aside from coincidence, why do you you think that the Java install has
anything to do with this?
 
I can't recall anything else I've loaded. The reason I say Java is because
when it is shown in the bottom pane or toolbar it shows the Java logo. I
think i will delete the Java program since I don't know what it's for anyway.
If, like you said, it's for programs and gaming, I don't do that anyway.
Thanks for your help. James

java is not just for games. Some WWW pages will need java to display
certain things. If java is not installed, the WWW page that needs it
should ask you if you want to install it.

Go ahead and uninstall all your java runtime from Add/Remove
programs. Reboot and see if you still have your problem.

If you need the java runtime later, you will be given the option to
install it again. It won't hurt to have it installed and java should
not be asking you about any logon questions.

java should use your browser settings for credentials which should
already work. If java is asking your for some credentials, something
is not set up right and might be fixed easily. Uninstall and
reinstall may be needed depending on what is wrong - that is safe.

The only time you should see the java logo (coffee cup) is when it is
running along with a WWW page, or updating itself.

If you can describe in more detail just what you are seeing after
trying the other options, it would be helpful. We can't see what you
are seeing and can only go by your descriptions. "IP log on box" is a
little low on descriptive details.

for what ever reason the "Jave Program" was the problem. I removed it (I
didn't use it anyway) and the problem went away. James
