Probably i will close the Fritz live online update too,strange in almost every online move update i have these problems:
For example in mostly of the move online update is popping a ''Dial Connection'' message and then the match is stopping...

The game can be started again only if i manually close the dial connection.
Even with removing the dial connection the same problem continues and that dial connection still appears in the mostly online updates.

Does anybody know how to disable Dial Connection from ''msconfig'' ?

Or maybe there is another way,special configurations i don't know exactly,any help appreciated.

Do you actually need that Virtual private connection? Probably you can just delete it.

Yes...i have already deleted it and still the Dial-up connection window launches automatically while is trying to update

Even these instructions don't help:
Right click My Computer icon, choose Manage/Services and Applications/Services
In the right pane, select Remote Access Auto Connection Manager and double click
Use the Startup type drop box and choose Disabled.

so the connection comes back after you delete it? Then you probably want to be scanning your computer for bad stuff.

I have restarted the pc and currently it seems to be ok...no any problems so far :)
But anyway i did not like this type of online tournament,the reason it takes a lot of time for updating the moves and plus the engines are in pause/resume during the update.

Yes, I don't like them a lot either, it would always worry me if the actual games were being affected or not

Yes...i agree with you and now i switched to Arena again :),at least it has a very important autosave option:
''Save current game after every move'' you know for 24 hours game and in case of electricity cut i can resume the same game...
