I may be the last person in the world to switch from MSN dial-up...but now I can't get it off of my computer....when I am trying to access help from other programs, the log in page pops up...and then I can't access the help I want..help! obviously..by my problem, you have figured out that I know squat about computers...so sorry for the duh factor!

Also in Control Panel, click on add/remove Windows Components and remove everything MSN.
There is nothing to learn from someone who already agrees with you.

1. Click on the "Start" button and select "Control Panel."
2. Double-click on the "Internet options" icon.
3. Click on the "Connections" tab.
4. Select "Never dial a connection" under "Dial-up and Virtual Private Network settings."
5. Click "Apply and "OK" to close.You also need to disable windows XP auto dial feature:
