WAN Miniport (SSTP) - missing driver

[Mick]

Hi all,
just looked in device manager (unrelated matter) on Vista and noticed a
device that was listed as having a problem. It wasn't there a couple of
days ago.

WAN Miniport (SSTP)
Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The device
driver may be corrupted or missing. (code 39)

It seems to refer to an inf file called netsstpa.inf. When I search the
computer that file has definitely been indexed in the past (location c:
\widows\inf), but it's now gone. I haven't installed or uninstalled
anything network related for ages.


I'm not sure what this is. Any ideas why this would have suddenly
appeared over the last few days? Any idea how to fix it?

Thanks
Mick

That didn't work for me, in fact now I lost the whole WAN Miniport SSTP option
