I really haven't dealt with this problem for several years, but perhaps maybe some of you could help.

After my computer was hit by a virus two years ago, almost everything is in working order now. The only exception is my Dial-Up Scripting tool for Windows 95. This program automatically executes a dialup script which handles the login and password, and sending instructions to connect to the net, so I wouldn't have to enter it manually. It's screwed now, as the program does not execute any script when I dial up my ISP.

I'm aware it may be a registry problem. Problem is, I tried looking up the Windows web site, but couldn't find anything. Any Solutions?

Uh... Win95 still? That'll make it difficult to figure out, as I don't remember where the patch is.

Basically, you need to totally uninstall DUN from your machine, then install it again and patch it to the latest version.

Though under normal circumstances, you don't really need scripts to dial in... unless your ISP is completely and totally backwards.

Upgrade to 98.

The only problem is, I can't find the program that has the dial-up scripting tool.

And don't ask me about my Windows 95 CD. For some stupid reason, the retailer never enclosed the Windows CD when he sold us the computer.

Uh, sounds shady.

Go get the Win98se upgrade or something. It will be well worth it. You'd need the CD anyway....

I have Win 98 SE now and it is worth upgrading from Win 95 (that and getting a new computer in itself was nice
