Lost Dial-up!

After I removed this program - TURBO CONNECT - the dail-up will not come up anymore when I open my IE 6 on the desktop! I can still connect to Juno through my e-mail web tab - but the dial-up box is gone. Any ideas? Last time this happened I had to reinstall my OS!!! Please not again! Thanks. m

 

Right click on the Internet Explorer shortcut on your desktop. Click on the Connections tab. Make sure that "Always dial my default connection" is selected.

ALREADY SET THAT WAY. THANKS. M

 

Shouldn't need an OS reinstall. And speaking of which, what OS?

 

LUCKY OR SMART?

Get this guys and gals! Oh - and thanks to Rod and Newt for replying. BUT - it is back working again! I think I might have fixed it - MYSELF! Check me on this - I went to the Network connections and fond that besides my Juno Web and Juno Backup there was this one called Juno connect?! Now I never set it up - so I figure maybe the Turbo thing did it? It had this annoying habit of dialing up as soon as I started the computer all by itself! So anyway - I removed it. And now when I tried to connect form the desktop by clicking on IE6 - BINGO! So did I do it or did it just happen by luck? Now on to the next mess - I will be back I am sure - seeya! Anybody have an idea about disabling that restriction I put on using DOS yet?

 

More than likely you did it. When you uninstalled the Turbo Connect program it didn't do a very good job of cleaning up behind itself and left its dial-up connection behind. By deleting this you caused your system to default back to the regular dial-up configuration.

As for your DOS problem C:\>set Prompt And C> Set Winpmt - What??? I would have to agree with Mark, you are going to have to try and find out which tweaker you used that restricted your rights to run dos programs.
