Textbridge is scanner-related software that came bundled with my puter, optical character recognition which is meant to convert scanned text into text that can be edited in Word. Doesnt work. I only mentioned it because it seemed to want to connect in order to register online when I first installed it.. .Control - alt - del will of course reveal all the stuff running at that moment, as will doing msconfig etc etc - however, as you will have realised, this doesnt help because it will not reveal which of those running programmes is trying to connect!. .One way to find the culprit might be to install a firewall. When the firewall is first installed you can configure it so it doesnt permit any access; you will need to allow individual programmes permission to access the net as you see fit. (Zonelabs works this way anyway). Then perhaps at the moment the unwanted connection is tried the firewall will reveal which program is doing it? Just a thought. On the other hand this may be unrevealing for the same reasons as cont-alt-del.. .I bet the answer to this is so simple we will kick ourselves
