It has been quite a long time since I posted in this forum, but I have run into a problem that has me lost and I know some of the best minds can be found here.

System Info:
Win XP Pro
Version 2002
Service Pack 2

AMD XP 2100+
768 MB Ram

Last week I was trying to set up my system to be a vpn client and when I tried to set up a new connection I found that the options for dial up modem and vpn client were grayed out (unavailable).

After searching the net for answers, the closest I came up with was this
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;329441

I've tried the registry workaround, but no luck. I've reinstalled sp2 and still no luck. I'm not sure if I should reinstall sp1.

When I try and manually start the remote connection manager it says it is unable error 1058. Telephony and other dependent services are all running,, unless I have missed something.

Everything else on my system is working fine.

Help ME!!?? I really don't want to have to wipe everything and reinstall xp just for this problem......

Look here (http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=175155).

Also, check the Log On tab, make sure it's enabled in the Hardware Profile. I assume you're doing this at home and not on some Domain where this might be disabled by the Admin?

Also assuming that you are logged on as the Administrator?
