KHunter,
First, get the Dial Up Networking update from Microsofts web site. I believe it is version 1.3 or 1.3.1, something like that. If you can't find it there, check www.winfiles.com, that is if you can get to the internet. If not, then try this:
There is a hidden backup copy of your registry in the Windows directory. If you are getting a "registry" error of any kind, I would restore the hidden copy. Basically, you rename you system.dat and user.dat to *.old, then rename the backups, system.da0 and user.da0 to *.dat. At DOS prompt, type "attrib system.dat -r -a -h -s" & press ENTER, then do the same for user.dat. Now, repeat this for system.da0 and user.da0 (your backup copies) Rename (system) & (user).dat to (system) & (user).old, then rename (system) & (user).da0 to *.dat. Now, type "attrib system.dat +r +a +h +s" ENTER and the same for user.dat and reboot. If this doesn't work, I would un-install (from safe mode, if necessary) the last piece of hardware or software that was added, assuming some was added, that may have caused this problem in the first place. If that doesn't do it, then (having "been there, done that") you will have to reinstall Windows.
Hope this helps,
