I re-built my home PC a few weeks ago, and since then my MSN won't logon automatically.

I'm guessing that MSN is loading before my ADSL connection, therefore, as there's no internet connection it does not login.

Does anyone know how the boot order can be changed so that MSN loads last?

Many thanks in advance,

K

P.S. - I have ticked all the MSN options so that it runs automatically, and logs in automatically, the password is correct, etc, and when I re-login manually, it works fine.

The first program that utilises the internet should create the connection.

Make sure the box is checked in IE to dial whenever a connection isnt present.

Cheers Matt - I'll check that tonight.

From vague memory, I think that MSN is configured to use existing connection - so now it all makes sense.

Many thanks,

K
