    When modem is down on boot, my browser auto-starts & shows warning msg


    Hi Guys,

    This a bit of a puzzler: I recently upgraded my cable modem. Now, whenever I power on my PC, my web-browser (Firefox) automatically pops up and displays a web-page ("branded" with my ISP's logo) with a warning message telling me that my cable modem is down (this is because my PC boots up far quicker than the cable modem is able to). If I allow my modem to fully boot/start and THEN turn on my PC, this doesn't happen.

    Question is: How is this browser pop-up occurring? I can't see any startup processes and I certainly didn't install any additional software when I installed the modem (it was a simple hardware swap).

    Second question is: How do I disable it and see whether any other stuff has been 'installed' when I upgraded the modem?

    Cheers,

    Mike.


    :)

    Do u have a large no of msg on ur phone. If yes pls restart ur phone after removing ur sim card & memory card. Then del the msgs starting from the folder that has the least msgs.

    Also go to gallery & check the memory status of ur phone. Then delete the unwanted data or move it to the mmc.

    Then go to ur browser & clear the cache.(usually the last menu option in browser)
