Win98 and WinME are very clodely related. I kow that for 98 the case is such that,
if you fail to log in at system startup to either the Windows Logon or Client for
Microsft Networks, and instead press cancel, then there is a bug that prevents you
from being able to disable the dial up networking prompt.
The checkbox to save your password is greyed out.
the best fix, if you are a Home user and not on a network and did not setup Windows
for Multitple users (which i do not reccomend, btw) then go to network in teh control
panel and change the primary network logon to "Windows Logon" (or Windows Family
Logon on some PCs i think.) Do this while no toher programs are running in the backround.
Answer yes to any prompts about keeping files (i guess.)
Then restart your PC and read what the new login box says.Do not type a password,
and Click OK and not cancel.
Now try to fix your dial up connectiod settings and this time they will respond,
but they are probably already set. Just try one, and this time check the (now working)
box to save your password.
