Corney I am going off memory now as I am not on my PC. If you go to the Legacy Home tab in your program, on the top right there is an Options button, click on that, and somewhere you will find "connect to the internet on start up" - check that option.
Note that you need to have IE installed on your PC even if it is not your default browser. --- Ron Ferguson http://www.fergys.co.uk GOONS #5307 "Corney Keller" <corney.kel...@hetnet.nl> wrote: >Hello List, > >The subject of this thread may be a little misleading, but I could not think >of another short way to put it. > >The problem is as follows: >A week or two ago I installed a new modem for my broadband internet >connection (combined with telephone and interactive TV, etc.) It works 100% >and I'm very happy with it except for one small hick-up. >When I start up Legacy (7.5), Legacy produces two text files containing the >instructions and html-code to search for updates and to show the 'Legacy >News' on the Legacy Home tab.
