C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Network\Connections\Pbk
Double-click the file named RASPHONE.PBK (Shows up as RASPHONE) and connect to the internet.
Click Start, Run and type CMD and press Enter
Run the following commands one-by-one and press Enter after each command:
regsvr32 netshell.dll
regsvr32 netcfgx.dll
regsvr32 netman.dll
