On a new install [for Win98] I can't get rid of the Internet Connection Wizard [The system has not been registered yet. Is that why?]. The system hits the Network only by right clicking the "I.E." icon and sekecting open. This will bring up the default web site that I.E. is set to. After that any attempt to go to any other site triggers the Internet Connection wizard, and it tries to find a modem device. It searches a few minutes, confirms "no modem device found".....Can this wizard be deactivated?

Go to the control panel, choose Internet Options, Connections tab, and then run the Setup option on the top of the page. It will allow you to set up a lan connection without detecting a modem, and will also make the Internet Connection Wizard quit running every time.

Good Luck

is your IE Tools/Internet Options/Connection Never Dial a Connection radio button option set? if you are on an 'always up' internet connection such as DSL or cable or maybe ISDN, you need to have that set to 'never dial'...i don't know how to get turn off the wizard...
