Iceman, are you u sing the pay or free version of NetZero? The free one wil lalways want to pop up something on regular intervals.

I think the pay one has this turned off.

no im using the $14 a month version, comes with a web accelerator but i turned all of that off... nuthing pops up or anything, it just says host connection lost, and then it autologs me back on to netzero... i even tried turning that off and it still boots me about every 45min to an hr, but as long as i switch over every 30min or so and click on a webpage, show a lil activity, it keeps me connected:confused:

Is that true? I've been using alt-f4 a lot from the tower because it's faster than doing it right...

Just something you could try instead of ALT-TABing... I wonder if one of those little ping programs running in the background and set to ping them every half hour would save you the trouble (?)
Just an idea, good luck with it Iceman, cya up

Personally I'd use pingplotter. You want as little data coming thru as possible and I assume a ping is fairly short-n-sweet.

I 2 will alt/f4 sometimes instead of hitting quit due to speed. So that just might explain why i'm seeing "black burnt out" looking trees sometimes now when they in shadow (say from a mountain)

hmm.... might be AH reinstall time....
