hi,
can anyone help with what is causing the "workoffline, no connection to the internet is currently available. to view content that has been saved on your computer. click work offline or try again." this pops up in a window and i have ran the pop spyware and aware programs and antivirus. it has slowed down some when it comes to popping up but is still annoying. so is there a way to get rid of it.

also, there is something in c:windows that is "chxefp.exe" i have tried to see of that is a window program but nothing comes up, microsoft seems to be clueless, it won't delete, i don't remember seeing that when i use to check programs when cltr/alt/del on the desktop.

finally, what is this install on demand thing that pops up when online, i go to microsoft site and see nothing that needs to be installed on here, is this another tricky online thing going on?

I am running win 98se, ie 5, thanks so much for any info or guidance somehow.

Hello And welcome to BleepingComputers matrixv.

To get the workoffline message to go away open internet explorer and click file. then down at the bottom it will say work offline,make sure this is not checked. As for the chxefp.exe I can not find anything on this not even google nor yahoo turns up anything. It could be a legitimat program in windows but as said nothing being found. Is it spelled correctly?

Under Browsing, click to clear the Enable Install On Demand or the Enable Install On Demand (Internet Explorer) and/or Enable Install On Demand (Other) check boxes.Click OK.
