No Dial up networking option

[Guest]

I have just loaded a new copy of XP Pro. Had XP Home, did the upgrade. Now It
won't give me the option to make a new dial up connection. Getting error 711
"Cannot load the Remote Access Connection Manager Service." I have gone into
services and made sure they were set to automatic. And it still won't work.
Anyone seen this?

You say you checked that it was set to automatic but is it running? Check
the status there. If not check in the event log to see if anything shows as
to why.

Here's a Knowledge Base article that may help:
