Author Topic: XP Pro Dial Up problems Paul Cassidy Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 549 From: Auckland, New Zealand Registered: Aug 2001 posted 08-12-2003 01:49 PM                        I got a New Lap Top with XP Home Edition on it and needed to upgrade to XP Pro , when I did this I lost all my Dial up settings and all the Micorsoft KB said was to enable RasMan in the settings well it couldn't be done , even using inetwiz or Create New connection the Dial up option was Greyed out , I did a complete reinstall of XP Home to check the Dial up and it worked OK , then installed Pro again and lost dial up again ..... well after doing some searching I found this Gem of a Fix .. I wanted to let you know that my my dial-up connection problem has been fixed --but, not by any of the fixes posted on Microsoft's site. I'll list the steps used to fix my problem with the Remote Access Connection Manager service --which *was* due to a corrupted registry. But, I'm not sure if the same fix will work for you. Here's the path: Run: regedit Select folders in the folllowing order: -HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -SYSTEM -Current Control Set -Services -RasMan -PPP -EAP -when you get to this point, you should see 4 folders (numbered 4, 13, 25, 26) -DELETE: folders 25 and 26 Note: This fixed my problem immediately. And, when I rebooted, all of my dial-up settings were restored. I hope that this will work for you, too.  |  IP: Logged
