For the past month, my laptop has been taking it upon itself to dial up my ISP anytime it desires. I have deleted stuff I have put on in the last month to no avail. Is there any way to find out what program is requesting a connection?

Thanks, John

John,

I have long since moved on from dial-up, but I seem to remember there is a setting there saying "do not dial up automatically" or some such that needs to be enabled to stop this happening. Suggest you go through the settings of your dial-up connection until you find something to that affect to disable.

Keep us posted,

kind regards,

To get to the setting, click START, CONTROL PANEL, INTERNET OPTIONS and select the Connections tab.
