Windows XP Error 720 on Windows 2000 Pro.. HELP!

[hazeldinka]

I currently run a laptop with Windows 2000 Pro pre-installed (and no disk supplied by vendor - second hand). It had been working perfectly until I installed some digital camera software and a pop-up blocker (oops)! Since then, I haven't been able to get on the internet from any connection on that computer. I had been using dial-up connections, and assumed it was an error with my internal modem, but when I came to try my external broadband modem, the same error occurs with that!

I am not a tinkerer and hope someone can help me. I have had the network settings checked out and they are apparently ok. I don't have the disk for the broadband modem at the moment because we've just moved house (it - along with the rest of the house - is in a box) and, as stated, never did have the Windows 2000 Pro disc. Also in a box somewhere I have Windows XP, if that will help me out.

Hoping all those of you who know what you're doing can help me out!

Cheers.

Do you have NIS installed?

You are talking to the un-educated here...

... NI what????

he means Norton Internet Security

No, NIS isn't installed.

... and I'm more of a cider girl myself! I don't like the thought of the maggot in the tequila (or the taste for that matter)!!

Thanks, though.
