| 267174 | 2004-08-30 23:10:00 | Jeeeeeush!, what on earth has happened? I had decided to run windows over the top to straighten out some minor niggles, usually works fine. Now I have lost my dial up options. From the control panel when I use the wizard to create a new connection (since my old one has been swallowed into cyber-space) the only option it gives me is broadband, which I cant have since there is none where I live. The dial up option is grey and cant be activated either from within my browser options or the control panel. I seriously don't want to reformat and re-install. What now? | Timewarp (5962) | ||
| 267175 | 2004-08-30 23:12:00 | You could try going into add/remove programs and reinstall Communications | Greg S (201) | ||

| 267177 | 2004-08-30 23:26:00 | I have neve know that procedure to work. Try this Open Regedit (Start --> Run --> regedit --> ok) Navigate to HKey_Local_Machine --> System --> CurrentControlSet --> Services --> Rasman --> PPP --> EAP Left click on EAP there should be 4 keys > 13,4,25,and 26 Delete the keys 25 and 26 Reboot the PC Try to setup a new connection - the problem should now be fixed |

| 267183 | 2004-08-31 00:41:00 | lol for those who are interested .....for xp copy and paste the following into a notepad and save as somethingrather.reg : Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\RasMan\PPP\EAP\25] [-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\RasMan\PPP\EAP\26] then right clik the file to 'merge' it into the reg......then restart then all your optoions will be back.........this is a handy fix cause sometimes when you do a repair install in particular you will lose those options |
