Cannot set up dial-up internet connection 1

[ed221]

After trying to set up Bluetooth I've lost my dial-up internet connection.

Using internet connection wizard the only option available is to set up an always-on broadband connection. The dial-up connection place is grayed out. I've been told there is a registry entry missing but I don't know where to find it. This is XP Pro SP 2, BTW.

Modem driver (Motorola) has been reinstalled. Clicking on modem icon in task bar leads to error message: "Phone and modem control panel can not be opened. You may have a problem starting telephony service."

I sure do.

Is the Telephony service Disabled. It should be set to Manual and showing as Started when Windows is loaded?

You receive an error message if you try to start the Phone and Modem Options tool in Control Panel on a Windows XP-based computer
