I have been very upset with this same situation, everyone says the same thing, click on "never dial a connection." ok I've got it figured out. hope this helps... (you might want to write this down)
go to start, go to All Programs, select accessories, move over to communications, then network connections, click advanced, down to dial up preferences, then check both boxes: ask me before autdial & disable autodial while I am logged in, then OK. whoooo! Alrighty give it a try, Maria

How can I get my printer to stop loading everytime I turn it on? A few months ago I downloaded some update features and the printer has not scanned anything since. It's a HP all in one and if you know anything that might could help, that'd be great!

Hi there, I had the same problem but was able to resolve it this way. When dial up is connecting automatically, hit the cancel button before it starts to dial. It displays opening port before it starts to dial with a cancel button underneath. After clicking on canel,it returns you to the origional dial up screen and you can untick connect automatically. It should not happen again.

I'm having a problem with the security tab on my Internet connection. On the Security Options under typical recommended settings I have checked the don't allow unsecured password - when I have done this it wont connect to the Internet, if I unchecked it and check Allow Unsecured password it seems to connect straight away. Why am I having this problem? can someone explain please. I have gone in and deleted the ISP and then started a new connection but it seems to go back to the same problem -Allow unsecured password..

What is Microsoft "INDEXING?" I get the feeling that Microsoft takes all my data, organizes it to suit them, and then ALLOWS me a copy. Are all my data on a satellite somewhere? Can I interfere with Microsoft's access to my data?

@Jack
Microsoft Windows indexes the information which is stored on your hard drive, and keeps the index on your hard drive. If Microsoft did copy any data from your computer without your permission, they would be liable for criminal charges. I think they are more interested in making money selling software, than in stealing your data.
