On my Control Panel, I have and icon called AvantGo Connect. Don't know where it came from or how it got there. It's not in "Startup" nor "Add/Remove". Did a "find" search and there's nothing anywhere on my C drive, just the icon in my Control Panel. Can anyone tell me
what it is and how to delete the thing from the Control Panel? This is on my old Dell Dimension XPS D333 running Win98SE.
Hi, Denny----Nope, I'm the only one messing around on this old 'puter. I may have gone to a website to check out stuff, like that described on the page you directed me to, but I never downloaded anything. Can you tell me how to delete it from my Control Panel? Thanks.
Thanks again, Denny, but I think I have it figured out. I bought a Navman iCN 510 GPS Navigation unit, and at first I loaded the software on the Win98SE machine, until Navman Support told me I would probably have problems there, so I moved it to my Dell 4600 XP machine, and it also has the AvantGo Connect icon in the Control Panel. However, would still like to get the icon out of the Control Panel on the Dell Dimension XPS 333 system, but I believe it's hopeless. Seems like it would have disappeared when I uninstalled the original software that put it in there, but it didn't. Maybe that was part of the problems Navman Support was referring to when they told me to put it on an XP system. Thanks for your help.
You should be able to delete it by doing a search for *.cpl. That will bring up all the control panel files and once you identify it you can delete it. If the names of the .cpl files are not familiar you can double-click any of them and the familiar menu will appear.

Does anyone else use your computer. The AvantGo service is described here and you must register for it before it can be downloaded.
