I am not 100 percent certain what is going on there--the connection software provided by ISP is very ISP specific so it is tough to troubleshoot...that said, you do not need it

Windows XP has all you need built in to connect to most ISPs (AOL being the exception, since they use proprietary networking protocols)

First, get your local access number(s)

Now, with Windows XP (as seen in profile),

Start > Control Panel
(in classic view) open up Network Connections.

Click on create a new connection.

Choose next.

choose Connect to the Internet, next.

Choose Set up my connection manually, next.

Choose Connect using a Dial Up modem, next.

Type in a name for your connection, next. (let's say Yahoo dialup1)

Type in your access number, next.

Type in your username and password.

Take a check out of the second and third box, next.

Put a check in the box and finish.

On your desktop you should see your new connection.

Create multiple accounts for other LOCAL numbers if you wish, in case some are busy when you need them.

Generally speaking, a manually set up connection is preferred since many ISPs load additional software that you may not desire.
