I had a friend who had lost the ability to connect to the 'net via dialup. On investigation
their device manager appeared empty. Booting in safe mode showed it to be populated.
A couple of conflicts, nothing major. Everything that was tried including removing
recent security updates failed to resolve the problem. I installed Spyware Doctor
and scanned in safe mode. This found all kinds of things the MS spyware beta and
Norton Anti-Virus missed. After removing the offending nasties, the pc was rebooted,
they were able to connect to the 'net and I got a free dinner!
