I had a dsl connection and a dial-up connection for my laptop. One for home
the other for on the road. I switched from juno to netzero dial-up, deleted
one and installed the new one. Now all hell broke loose. I lost dial-up
networking protocol in windows xp and I can't reinstall it. It is blacked
out when I run the wizard and also in internet explorer options. When I try
to reinstall it with the windows xp pro cd it goes through the motions but
it still does not show up. I've checked on microsoft's home page but can not
find anything that that talks about the problem.
I've checked for viruses. Checked with both isp's and they were no help.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
