Loss of broadband/dial-up network connection

[Guest]

H

I unfortunately purchased Spykiller 2004 to get rid of the annoying number of pop-up ads on my machine. Not only did it remove the parasite files, but it has really messed up my Windows XP.

First thing I noticed was that when I loaded Internet Explorer I always got "Page Cannot be Displayed" I tried restoring windows to an earlier date but no change

I then re-installed Windows XP and that is when further issues arose

During installation I had error messages relating to MSDART.DLL which I finally managed to clear. Now in windows XP if I click on properties of My Computer I get another error message realting to winsta.dll

But the main problem is that I cannot access the internet! I currently use an ADSL broadband modem through the USB port. after removing and re-installing the driver for it I plug in the USB cable and the power is provided but
Windows XP doesn't recognise that anything is there

Also if I try to set up a new network connection, either for my ADSL modem or a simple dial up I go through the connection wizard but the options to set up your own dial-up/broadband have been blanked out so that you cannot select them!!

Anyone else experienced this or have any advice?

All the bes
