Do Not Disable Security Center Service (if you use Dial Up)

Hello Folks,

You should follow Doug's advice to disable the Security Center service
only, if you do not use dial-up (meaning you have a (cable) modem
which connects to the Internet as soon as you start Windows).

If you disable the Security Center service (or set it to Manual), you
will get an error 711 when you try to connect to the Internet. If you
try to start the services "Remote Access Connection Manager" or
"Remote Access Auto Connection Manager" manually (since they don't
run), you get this error message:
Error 998: Invalid access to memory location

You will be unable to connect to the Internet until you have the
Security Center service restored.

Best Regards,

HKSHK
 
Works fine here with Security Center disabled

Is your plug&play service set on "automatic", and Telephony on "manual"?
If not, try those settings
