Re: OT - Winxp Dialup Dramas

Sure it sounds like the big red hammer approach, but I would a) ask if
ADSL or mobile broadband is an option and if not b) reinstall XP.

You could possibly try the feature which checks that system files are
intact, cannot remember what its called off the top of my head but
google is your friend.

Cheers,

Rene
