Default Annoying popping up window

It's not a popup in a traditional sense, bu tit's still annoying. Whenever I
or any of my family logs into their account, we are greeted with a box that
tells us that the web page we requested is not available offline, would we
like to 1) stay offline or 2) connect?

It comes up all...the....time!!! We do not even have to be connected or
even online in IE, but the logo in the corner of the box has a tiny red x and
a lower case blue e. This is IE, but we do not have their page set as our
home page. I've tried connecting and seeing where the tag would lead, but it
varies. Sometimes it's for Windows Media Player, sometimes, it's for the
Microsoft Update page, sometimes it's a blank page. I've also tried going to
IE, going to my home page, synchronizing it, adding to My Favourites, and
checking "Make Available Offline". None of these have helped any at all or
altered it in any way.

How can I find what program is causing this box to appear constantly and
how to stop the stupid thing from annoying us to death? It's been going on
for weeks now.
