Thanks ahead! 160227[/snapback] best advice i can give you is to do a system restore,its quite fast and effective and shouldn't lose your files,modify the registry is dangerous and can cause system instability,i wouln't advicde it,if this doesn't work you could also tray to delete your connection and create a new one,hope this helps.

kwapster 0 Report post Posted July 12, 2005 there are three tabs in add/remove, go to the middle on, windows setup, there is a long list of all the whambox's components. Go to the Communications one, select Details, and from the new list, there will be dialup networking. Is not that hard. i found this information off a forum in which a person was experiencing the same problems that you are having,if you would much rather look at them yourself you can do so by going to the following link.Google Search hope this solves your problem if not please keep us posted on your progress.

Thanks ahead! 160227[/snapback] Maybe this is a stupid suggestion, however, in my experience, most computer problems are usually something extremely simple. Check to see if you have "Hide inactive icons" enabled in your taskbar properties. Might seem like a really stupid thing... but it is always a possibility. Just right click on an empty space on your taskbar and select properties. It is possible that the icon has just slid into the inactive list. The inactive list is not really acurate... in order to stay on the active list, Windows actually expects that you normally click on the icon... otherwise it doesn't think you are using it.
