Take the NTL software off - you don't need it!
I now have a cable modem, but when I was using NTLworld's dial-up 0800 connection, I hated the software too.
Basically all it does is adjust your standard Windows network and dial-up settings (including the phone number dialled) and give you a kind of control panel to access them by.
What I did was go through all the settings in the NTL software - phone number, TCP/IP settings, Primary & Secondary DNS servers etc. - and make a note of them; then I un-installed NTL's software and configured the settings manually.
And hey-presto - same connection, using standard Windows options.

Blimey, if I wrote what you just said I would have posted it at the same time as you.

Uninstall the entire thing, making a note of your connection details (i.e. password, username, email username and password, etc.) and set up a new connection manually using the connection setup wizard. You'll then be able to acces an icon that can be use everytime you go online, or when a program attempts to go online.
I had the same problem.
