WindowsXP Start

[Rbarr]

Just today, my computer boots up and automatically dials
my ISP.

My ISP says that I've told the computer to search for
something at startup.

Any clues where I can look to correct this? I don't want
it to dial at startup

Thanks

RBarr

Also thanks to those who helped me out on another problem
this morning.

You may have spyware, adware, a trojan or a home page hijacker.

Two to check are Windows Media Player and especially Real Player which
will go on line to check licenses and in Real Player's case to look for
'channels' . Internet explorer can also do so if you have set news
channels as web content on the desktop
