As a computer novice, I have searched the archives with no luck for an answer. I have an IBM Aptiva which came with Win 95. I upgraded to Win 98 SE. Coincidentally my computer now starts itself several times a day! There does not seem to be a pattern. I have disabled all scheduled tasks, etc. I can hear the modem attempt also attempting connection without result. Whatever have I done? Thank you for any help.
