I had that same problem a long time ago but I cannot seem to remember the details.. Operating System was Windows ME. I think at the time I was using Juno as an ISP. I had the paid version at the time and their tech support tried to help but the best he could come up with so that there might be an incompatible program on your machine. I put the same Juno on another computer I was working on and it worked fine. I switched ISP's and had the same problem. However the tech guy walked me through some kind of set up in the Dial up networking and I cannot for the life of me remember what it was all about. With time I may remember. Sorry but right now the best I can do is sympathize..
