Synchronization Manager Problem Question?

Sometimes at night when I am on the computer my Synchronization Manager will start up and will make the sounds like it is either doing something or trying to and then all the sudden it will for lack of a better word(crash) or end and it will leave an icon in my lower right system tray with a red dot on it that has a white X in it. When I click on the little Icon in the lower right system tray it gives me a dialog box that says Progress and when I click on that I see Name and under that The Southern Plainsmen and under Status it says Failed and under Additional Information it has Error Downloading URL. And when I click on the other tab that says RESULTS it gives me The Red Dot with the white/gray X in it and beside that it has Offline Web Pages(The Southern Plainsmen):Error Downloading URL. And at the very top of the dialog box it has The Red Dot with the white X and out beside that it has Errors occured while synchronizing your data.

Does anyone have any idea why it is doing this and what it means and what I might could do to stop it from doing this? Is it supposed to run sometimes and do something for my computer? I have only had a computer for about 2 years and I am not very knowledgable of all the inner workings yet and what they do and what they mean when they don't work properly so I would appreciate any feedback to help me with this problem.



I have a Dell Dimension XPS R, 96MB SD RAM, 12.9GB Hard Drive and I am running Windows 98 OS.

Thanks in advance for any and all help you can provide on this matter. It will be very much appreciated.
