Go to Start > Programs > Accessories > Communications and
right-click on New Connection Wizard and select Properties.
The "Target" should be "%SystemRoot%\System32\rundll32.exe netshell.dll,StartNCW"
and the "Start in" should be "%HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%".
Double-check the Security permissions.

| Thanks for the reply Mr. Frisch.
| The device manager shows that my modem is functioning 
| properly.  
| I have gone to Creative.com website and downloaded and 
| installed the most resent driver for my 'Creative Modem 
| Blaster V.92 PCI DI5633' modem.  Creating a connection is 
| still grayed out in the internet connection wizard.
| Any other suggestions?
| To me this doesn't appear to be a modem problem it seems 
| to be an XP problem.  The modem was function perfectly in 
| my Win2K Pro system and it is only since the upgrade to XP 
| that I am getting a problem.  I have the correct XP modem 
| drivers installed.  I am able to fax via the modem.
