1. Nope not opening the UI. As XP loads the icon shows up on the tray and dialing starts.

2.Have it set to manual, because i do not want Avast checking for me.

  1. Perhaps i didn’t explain myself on the auto dial. Opera will not dial up for me. Have to manually start the connection. So i have an Opera work around whereby when i open Opera it will dial the connection for me.

  2. It didn’t happen on 5.0…Didn’t happen when i upgraded to 5.1 It has only started the the last few weeks…i have a suspicion it was program update that has started the problem.

Think that i will uncheck the dialup modem box, and check my computer is always connected to the internet and see what happens. And see what happens tomorrow…

Thank you for your time.
