Problem working off line, dialup box in the way. // CommunityzoberguyApr 23, 2000, 10:08pm
When I open AW to work offline my dialup box for MSN hops on top of the AW
window. No matter what I do, choose cancel repeatedly or hit the upper right x it is back. Just when I think I closed it and start manuvering it appears again. I asked microsoft about this and they felt it wasn't their problem. Any ideas on how to correct this? just inApr 24, 2000, 3:08am
I *think* you can fix this by doing the following...
In Control Panel there is an icon called Internet Options... open that and click on the "Connections" tab. In the window that appears you will find "Dial-up settings". For each of those connections click on each and select below "Never dial a connection". I think there is also a setting in MSIE which you set to automatiucally launch your dial-up connection as soon as you open it. I didn't look for it coz I think the above should fix your problem.

When I'm doing this, I *don't* cancel the dial-up box. Instead, I
click somewhere in Active Worlds. Result: the dial up box sits there behind AW while I do whatever I'm doing, and doesn't bother me. Selanit > > > |
