One more time ... How do I stop....? Sunday, November 9, 2003 at 4:03 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Annoyed-With-Windows (39 messages posted) This is a repeat of a post I made about a week ago. I got several replies but alas, they didn't help. I'm giving it another go, hoping someone else may have the answer. Got XP, home, with dial-up connection. No matter how I start to surf the web (using a desktop shortcut to a website, or opening Internet Explorer to my home page, or opening it to a blank page (using about:blank) and then clicking on a site from my favorites list), I get a box on-screen telling me the webpage is not available offline (I know that!) and to view it I should click on connect. I get this box even if I first connect to the net before opening my browser and going to a website. This happens only when I first try to go to a website in a session -- once I've gone to a site (after being forced to click on that connect button), the message doesn't show up again during the rest of the session. But next day when I go to surf, I get the same on-screen message. I want to get rid of this message and having to click on the connect button. (I also have much the same thing happen when I first open Outlook Express -- even if I am already connected to the internet, I get a similar message.) Any help out there? Thanky, thanky.
