Hello,
I have windows 98 with service pack 1.
I have IE 6, and I have all the critcial updates installed.
When starting windows the modem dial-up window pops up for
me to log on. Of course I don't want to connect to the
internet at that time because windows hasn't finished
loading yet! (especially because Norton anti-virus hasn't
loaded) At that point I have to click this little window
to shut several times & repeatedly before it will finally
close, then windows finishes loading afterward. I can
stop this pop-up by going into IE tools and completely
turning it off (never dial option) but that isn't really a
solution just a time consuming process to change when I
want to log on later!

Thanks for any help folks, Bob2
 
Chances are that you have a program that has been set to
connect to the internet as you start up. Have a look which
programs load at start up, disable say four at a time, and
see if the pop up stops. By a process of elimination you
will locate the offending program. If you require further
ideas as to how to go about it, either repost or send me
an email.
