Cannot create a dial-up connection

L

Larry Wei

I cannot make a dial up connection to my ISP. I checked my
windows XP configuration. I found there are several places
that seem misconfigured.
1. There is no dial up connection Icon in mt networking
place. I cannot create one
2. There is an advance menu item in the network connection
page, an option called dial up preference is there. When I
click this option, an error message appears, it reads:
error 711, remote access connection manager cannot be
loaded.
3. When I use the create a new connection wizard, I choose
connect internet, along the steps, I choose an option for
configure manually, then in the next step, I do not have
the options for selecting dial up with Modem and DSL. these
options are there but grey out, I cannot select them.
4. I found there are two services that are not started.
One is Remore Access connection manager, another one is
remote access auto connection manager. When I try to start
remote access connection manager, It gives me an error
reading, error 5, access is denied. I am the owner and main
user of my notebook.
My window version is windows XP professional, I did not
install SP1 yet.

Can anybody help me with this? It is very much appreciated.

1, Yes, I logged on as an admin. It is my notebook,
Logged on as the main user. That should let me do
anything allowed.

2, No, I did not have SP1 installed.

Thanks
