I cannot check "connect using dial-up modem" because it is
grey out. This happen after I reload XP Home Edition.
Where do I go from here.

============================================================
You ran a Repair Install from an XP Pro cdrom that did not include
Service Pack 1 and the previous installation of XP did include SP1.
When you did that, you removed SP1 and all XP Critical Updates
including the one that deals with the RPC vulnerability exploited by the
MSBLASTER worm and its variants. Before you connect to
the Internet, make sure you are behind a router with a firewall
or have a functioning third-party firewall or have the XP ICF
enabled. Then you will need to immediately go to the Windows
Update site and get all Service Packs (SP1A) and critical updates
installed. SP1A will need to be installed separately and be sure
to reboot before going back for the rest of the critical updates.
