Hi
A friend of mine has the following problem.
He is using Windows XP Home edition.
When he starts the computer up as soon as it gets to the desktop it
tries to connect to the internet. It is using the correct phone number
and log in details.
Obviously he wants it to connect when he decides not the computer
deciding for him.
He does not have the virus program set to auto update, and windows is
not set up to automatically up date. While I am on that subject when I
checked to see if the box was ticket to allow auto-updates it is all
greyed out, so if you wanted to allow it to do so you can not switch
it on. Does anybody have any idea as to what is telling the dial up to
connect at start up. Just as a point of interest the box that appears
when it tries to connect is not the normal box you get when you
connect to the internet yourself.
Can anybody direct me in the right direction as I am pulling my hair
out trying to find the problem.
Regards
Tony
