Modem Grayed out

[dave hewlett]

I am running a P laptop ze5385us that was on XP home OS.
I upgraded it to XP PRO and linked it to broadband. Now
the dialup configuration is not working. Only broadband.
I am talking to a HP tech but so far they still want to
focus on the driver for the modem which is working ok. I
get a malloc rasenumdrivers error when I bring up an
application that wants to use the modem. The Microsoft
FAX set up does work with the modem and so does the MSN
diag.

==================================
Most likely, you had XP SP1 installed in XP Home and then
upgraded to XP Pro that did not include XP SP1:

If the broadband connection is working, use it to download and
install XP SP1 again and see if that resolves the issue for the Dial-Up.

Otherwise follow the instructions in 329441 and then install XP SP1 again.

P.S. Please have your Anti Virus program temporarily disabled before
installing XP SP1.
