> Here's the deatils you asked for:
1)No MSN is not my ISP. I'm using a local one in NC.
2)My homepage is currently set as a blank page.
3)This happens to everyone's account. I have three children, ages 17, 17
and 20 here with accounts and their is also set to a blank page. I asked
them to do this until this problems is cleared up. The only account that
doesn't have this box popping up is the guest account. It never popped up
when I was in the account last weekend. I wasn't in there very long, though.
Just long enough to change the home page to blank, do a system cleanup and
clear out any saved web pages.
4)The box that pops up has a small e in blue with a tiny red x at its bottom
to indicate that IE wanted to connect but wasn't able and since it couldn't,
would I like to see that web page I requested by connecting. I am not
connected at the time it pops up. The answer is yes, it does want to connect
to the internet every time I log on, even when I'm not doing anything
internet related.
5)I have dial-up. DSL and cable are not available out here in the boonies.
6)When this happens the only things that are open are that box. I haven't
even had a chance to open anything. It just comes up and asks me if I want
to connect even when I do not.
