Dial up connection box keeps popping up

by dlown - 7/18/04 5:13 PM

When I'm not connected to the internet the Dial up connection box keeps popping up. It's so annoying when playing games or using other programs. What can I do to stop this from happening? Can I switch it off somewhere?

Something in the background is running: Antivirus program looking for updates, email looking for messages, Windows looking for updates, spyware looking to access the net to report your activities, etc.

Was looking for cause of same problem and saw your query.
Try a fix in Registry: HKCU\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\Wintrust\trust providers\software publishing. change "state" from 0x00023c00 to 0x00023e00.
If it works for you, please explain to me why.
Regards
Don

It happened to me there are two resolutions.
1- Ever since I installed Windows Service Pack 2, the problem stopped
2-There is a software called TweakXP. There is option in that software that removes automated dial-up

HOPE THAT HELPS
