I have read on other forums that other people are having the same problem. When I start a single player game it dials the internet. 
I have tried the Tools/Internet options/connections/never dial trick and it doesnt work on my system. 
Can this be fixed ? 
Will the full retail do this as well ?
The only way I can get the game to run without the dial up is to delete the connection  
 
My System 
P3 1000 
512 mb ram
GeForce 2 Ti 64mb ddr
SB Audigy
Win XP pro w/IE 6 
US Robotics 56k/V.90 modem
Thanks for any help.
