Hi Harry et al., You can press F5 in OE5 to attempt to get connected to the Internet. Your Connection dialog should be opened thus. Now, press ShiftTab from that point, or move around the dialog box, until you hear 'connect automatically checkbox not checked'. - When you hear this, press spacebar to check it! My OE5 remembers my password each time I shut down my computer and restart later. I disclosed a longer method of doing this last night, in response to the original enquiry. Here is what I then wrote: Hi Viola, You may need to go into the Tools, Options ... menu to get automatic dialing back. From the File menu in Outlook Express, press t for Tools, then o for Options, then press Enter; You'll be in the General Tab area. Press ShiftTab once to hear 'general', and from there press ControlShiftTab twice to get to the Connection tab; then tab forward till you hear 'dial automatically ...' which is probably not checked. Press spacebar at this point to checkmark it. You may like to tab over to ok button once you've done this and press Enter there. Now, you may close Outlook Express and then re-open it. It should open and prompt you to connect to your ISP. I hope this helps. ----- Original Message ----- From: Harry Bassler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: petluver <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, September 15, 1999 12:17 AM Subject: Re: O E 5 : : Sorry I am unable to help except to commiserate for I am having much the same : problem.
