    or if it's from Tiny

    http://www.pcbuyerbeware.co.uk/NetworkingProblems.htm (search for supanet), it might even work if it isn't a Tiny computer

    I had the same from TIME. Pretty crap is'nt it? They told me to sign up and then never use it again. It does not come up on boot-up if you have signed. Then change your e-mail and internet defaults to your normal provider

    I did a search for all files with Supanet in the name and found the .exe file that was causing this Supanet splash screen to run at startup. I deleted all said files and was rid of it.

    I was fortunate not to have the Supanet dedicated modem though, I don't know if you have this problem as well.
    This site has saved me a fortune :money: ...it's also cost me a fortune! :doh:

    I have a fix for this if anyone needs it.
    I haven't been asked to tell you that I'm the [highlight]Board Drunk[/highlight] for this board. As the night wears on, my posts will become worse, with simple spelling mistakes, inane ramblings, and a blatant disregard for the truth. I have no authority to do anything, so there's no point asking or telling me. If you see me past midnight, please tell me to get my coat and order me a taxi.

    type msconfig in the run dialogue box,

    click on a tab at the top which says startup, and you should be able to find that relates to the supanet start-up thing, to stop it!

    however try not to change too many things, and always double check you know what you are doing, as disabling the worng file for startup can cause problems on ur pc. after you have changed / stopped a programme opening at startup a dialogue box (from windows) will apear to say that you have changed something, you will be able to 'check the box' so that this dialogue does not happen on consequent boot-ups
