I will try uninstalling / installing modem tonight.
On another note, here is a suggestion that I found on another forumn that did not help me........but I would like to add here as a reference for anyone else who finds this thread in the future. Hope it helps someone.
Connect but Cannot Browse Registry Fix
Works on Xp Pro and Home. Not tested on 2000. Great for resetting winsock when connected using dial-up, DSL or cable but unable to browse any web page. I know how frustrating it is. Specially when you upgrade from dial-up to broadband. Enjoy!
Click on Start, then Run. Type regedit.
FIRST OF ALL BACKUP YOUR REGISTRY (File --> Export registry file --> Export Range = All --> Enter a filename and remember the location --> Save)
Your registry file is backed up. Next:
Click once on HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE so that it is selected.
Then click on File, then on Load Hive.
Go to My Computer the C Drive, then click twice on the Windows or Winnt folder, then the Repair folder, then click twice on the system or system.bak file.
Name the new Key "xp".
Minimize the Registry Editor.
Click on Start, Run, and type in cmd.
Type in the following:
reg copy hklm\xp\controlset001\services\winsock2 hklm\system\currentcontrolset\services\winsock2 /s /f
There is a space (not a carriage return or Enter) separating "reg copy hklm\xp\controlset001\services\winsock2" and "hklm\system\currentcontrolset\services\winsock2 /s /f"
You will get a message that the operation completed successfully.
Exit DOS or command shell.
Maximize the Registry Editor. Select the xp folder that was created.
Click on File, then UnLoad Hive.
You will be prompted to confirm the removal of the folder, click Yes.
Exit the Registry.
Connect and browse. (No need to reboot the computer.)
Beats having to re-install Windows and having to pull your hair all night long in utter frustration!!! I know! Been there, done that!
Regards,
Richard
