error occured/netsetup.cpl

[Brucefl]

I go into my control panel sometimes and get an error:
An error occured while windows was working with control panel file.
c:\windwos\system32\netsetup.cpl

Suggestions? looked in windwos xp database for microsoft, didn't find
anything
thanks

Are you using Verizon? Or SBC?

netsetup.cpl is related to IPMON32. IPMON32 = IPMON32.exe

ipmon32.exe is an application from Verizon. It provides the user with
monitor diagnostic tools. It is known to consume large amount of resources.

I hate to recommend this, but I don't know another way...

Start | Run | Type: msconfig | OK |
Startup tab | UNCheck: IPMON32 | Click Apply |
Click OK | Reboot

[[Q: Is IP insight really needed?
A: No it's not necessary at all. It's a diagnostic tool that Verizon techs
can use to troubleshoot connection problems on your line. IP Insight is a
Quality of Service and/or diagnostic package - but it's not used by VOL at
this time - there's no back-end companion for tech support or NOC to use to
access it... It does send "phone home" data used to check latency and
network traffic occasionally, but like any other features that it contains
are unused or not implemented.]]

IPMon32.exe seems to be related to spyware.

Hmm weird, only does it when in control panel. I'll give it a try. Actually
thought I disabled all the verizon stuff in msconfig
thanks

If it were me, I would uninstall all that crap.

Keep having fun!
