Ever since I installed the latest version of Messenger 8 a couple of weeks
ago, Windows tries to dial my internet connection whenever I open other
programs such as Windows Explorer. Normally, it only brought up a dial-up
dialogue box whenever I opened Internet Explorer (which asked me if I wanted
to connect to the net), but now it does it for other programs too. Also, it
brings up my dial-up dialogue box whenever I start Messenger - even if I am
already connected to the net. I've tried to change the settings in the IE
Tools/Internet Options/Connections dialogue, but that only stops the dial-up
dialogue box from appearing at all (even for IE). Does anybody know how to
fix this problem? (I'm using Windows XP Pro)
 
If you have Windows Messenger to start up every time windows starts, that
used to be a problem. If this is the case, you can disable it under your
options. The last time i had this problem was with windows 98, lol.
