Suddenly after installing some new software I've started getting forced
auto-dialups. That is, I only get a beep when I try to cancel the dialup. These happen, for instance, when I do Start -> Help and Support. It may have started with a "free" folder compare/sync program that insists on dialing the internet when it starts. In Network Connections ->-> Dialup Preferences I have checked Always ask me before redialing. I do not have auto-update turned on. Is there a way to stop this forced (uncancelable) dialing? JimL -- |

Try this:
1. Click Start - Control Panel - Internet Options 2. Click Connections tab. 3. Select the option "Never dial a connection" Hope this help, let us know!
