110751 2003-01-03 08:44:00 This can be really frustrating as there is no way to set up a Dialup connetion unless you can select this option in the wizard.
To have a bug like this in XP is quite pathetic.
MS have info about this Here ( support.microsoft.com) but I believe in most cases it does not fix the problem.

You may have to reinstall XP to get this option back again

110752 2003-01-07 07:55:00 thx Jim B but unfortunatly the MS fix didn't work. what makes this a real pain is the previous "tech" upgraded the persons XP home to XP pro (pirate ver) and the home ver won't install over the top of the pro ver. :( tweak'e (174)
