@Angi
From what you’ve written up there, it seems like you don’t have a stable internet connection for your laptop. You’ve mentioned about AT&T which I think it should be the cause of the problem. You should contact with your service provider for the solution of your problem.
Thank you for leaving us your comment.

Can someone please explain how I get Internet explorer to run on my XP Home Edition DELL laptop WITHOUT it attempting to come up under the previous owner’s “Microsoft Internet Explorer provided by AT&T WorldNet Service”?? It is keeping me from accessing the internet ALTOGETHER. All I keep getting is the ‘Cannot find server’/'The page cannot be displayed’ (Cannot find server or DNS error) messages. ANY advice would be greatly appreciated!!

Guys also look at this freeware util Process Blocker that can prevent programs from running, the CRC32 check is promised in the next version.

@nicholas
You are not permanently disabling them, you can go back in at any time and just re-check them to enable them again!
Great article for vista and xp!

Here is a look at how to do it in Windows 7:

If I use MSCONFIG to dissable some programs so they won’t load and run at start up. Am I permanently disabling these programs. Or is this just a temporary disabling. I mean should I manually restart these temporarily disabled programs shortly after start up. And if so how do I do that? Thank you

That’s why I will not buy Toshiba products. They seem to always include something proprietary that’ll be a cash grab later…..perfectly good vcr collecting dust because can’t change tv/vcr without buying “their” replacement remote (none of the universal remotes work, and the vcr doesn’t have a button to do this like all my other vcr’s. Which all are now collecting dust anyways, but the Toshiba was the first….)
