| Is there a timebomb built into the Webplayer to disable it after a certain time? Mine was working fine yesterday. Today I noticed when I turned it on that the normal sign-in (or connect) screen did not appear after it prepared for the internet. Instead it went right to dialing to my local ISP. It got to the "verifying name and password" and then disconnected. But oddly, it automatically redialed the ISP over and over getting the same result. It never redialed automatically before. I figured the password wasn't being accepted by my ISP, so I went into the control panel (which I had to do by unplugging the phone wire to get the dialup error screen and then pressed control-music since I could not get to the connect screen) and low and behold, my password and two of my user names fields were blank in the user stats panel and one of the other panels. I filled those back in and restarted. It then connected to my ISP, but the normal virgin connect browser did not appear. Instead I got a white screen with the message "This service has been discontinued. Sorry for the inconvenience". So now I have no browser and no way surf the net even though I am connected to the ISP. Anyone know whats happened, and any way to get the browser back without having to put windows on the DOC or install a hard drive? | |
