Guest glen Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 My wife recently installed a number of shareware apps (approx 8) but didn't particularly like any of them so uninstalled them all using the supplied uninstall options. (On XP home) Now a dialog box appears every few mins. "No connection to the internet is currently available. To view internet content that has been saved on your computer, click work offline", there are two buttons 'Work Offline' and 'Try again' neither of which appear to do anything, and there is no internet available from that computer. Is there any way to track down where this dialog is coming from? Thanks

(On XP home) You may need to restore your PC to a previous date, which will get rid off off the new registry entries from the bad shareware. In theory. -- http://www.bootdisk.com/
