How to id the app triggering this dialog

[glen]

My wife recently installed a number of shareware apps (approx 8)
but didn't particularly like any of them so uninstalled them all
using the supplied uninstall options. (On XP home)

Now a dialog box appears every few mins.

"No connection to the internet is currently available.
To view internet content that has been saved on your computer,
click work offline", there are two buttons 'Work Offline' and
'Try again' neither of which appear to do anything, and there
is no internet available from that computer.

Is there any way to track down where this dialog is coming from?

Thanks

You may need to restore your PC to a previous date, which will get rid
off off the new registry entries from the bad shareware. In theory.
