Modem wants to start automatically

[Cooker]

Every time I boot my computer the modem wants to dial out and I have to cancel it until I'm ready to go online. I just upgraded my system to an AMD 450 with 384 meg of ram and a 4.5 gig c drive and a 20 gig d drive. I have Win98SE installed from a clean install. It's not referenced anywhere in the start menu or any other place that I know of. It does get annoying after awhile.

Check this:<br><br>1. Start-&gt;Settings-&gt;Control Panel<br>2. Internet (or Internet Options) applet<br>3. Connections tab<br><br>Check to see if &quot;Always dial my default connection&quot;&nbsp;&nbsp;checked - uncheck it.<br><br>Regards!

I had my system set to start Outlook Express on reboot...and &quot;dial if not connected&quot; and it would do<br>that...('course I wanted it to). <br>Yours may be a similar condition...check to see if Outlook Express is in the startup.<br>( : &gt;[ )<br> <p> <br><a href=mailto: > </a><br><a href= > </a><br>

run the sysconfig utility and see what programs that you have for start-up.
