I can say that I use norton and MSN and neither of them try to connect at
startup. I think one of the reasons could be spyware and you should run
something like spybot to see if you have any.

Hi
I may be able to help you with 1 and 3.
1. You have a program in your startup list that wants to dial the internet.
MSN is common, but it may well be Norton. You could check Norton's preferences,
and see if there is something there that tells it to connect at start up. Or
from the Run command on your Start menu type msconfig and hit enter. This gives
u a window with a number of tabs, the last of which (I think) is start up. You
can check and uncheck boxes there to enable or disable. It's a handy place to
find spyware prgrams as well. But don't fiddle too much unless you are sure
about the programs there.
3. It appears W98 doesn't know what program to use for the email address so
you are getting a list of programs to Open with. If it happens again go through
the list and check Outlook Express. All emails should then open with this. Is
Outlook Express designated as your default email program. Do that in Tools
Options general tab.
Good luck
Bryan
