hi schwarz,

do u mean to say that u want to set up an internet connection?
if yes then
go to start>program>accessories>internet tools>internet connection wizard.
and follow procedure.

Agree with susrai, you should ignore that "Welcome to msn internet access!"... DON'T open IE until you have set up your internet connection. By the way "explorer" means something different from "Internet Explorer" so if you are talking about "Internet explorer" then say it in full or use IE.

Are you connecting via dial up or cable modem?

If dial up you will need a dial up modem, you will need to install the modem on your motherboard and then run the drivers if it is not already installed. Then you will want "internet connection wizard" and there should be an icon for this on the desktop, open it up and try to follow the instructions onscreen if you get trouble come back.

If cable modem (going from my experience) you will need to make sure your ethernet or usb are up and running on your motherbord. Then you should have an install cd that comes from your ISP provider who gave you the cable modem. run the CD and follow instructions.


Once you are connected to the internet one of the first things to do is update your IE5 to IE6 SP1 by using this service

To get rid of it just click the small cross top righthand corner OR press "Alt - F4" (Alt first keep alt pressed down and then press F4)
