Two Questions

First of all I use Windows XP with a dialup connection. I have two computers on the bottom of my screen with a red X in them. The message says "Local Area Connection - A Network Cable is Unplugged". How do I fix this? The other question involves booting up. When I am signing in Windows XP, I click on my logo to sign in and it says "9 unread mail messages". I cannot find anything. Where are they?

Thanks

    Check this: control panel>network connections>right click LAN>properties> see if the box for "show icon" is checked...if so, uncheck it and icon should disappear.

    For the second question, look here:

    Hope this helps,

    Thanks AKA,

    It was already unchecked but I still have two computers with a red X on the taskbar.

    Ray,
    Not sure what's up then...have you tried right click icon and does it give "exit" as an option? Somewhere there must be a LAN connection enabled, although you use dialup. Only other thought is to check msconfig and see if there is any reference to TCP/IP/LAN and disable it.

    Were you able to fix the OE problem?
