When installing win xp pro and upgrading from home edition, trying to connect to the internet might get error 711. I found a quick easy way to resolve this was going to Run and typing Regedit, and deleting the following keys:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\RasMan\PPP\EAP\25

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\RasMan\PPP\EAP\26

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\RasMan

On the File menu, click Export.
In the File Name box, type exported rasman key, and then click Save.
In the RasMan key, locate and then click the ObjectName string value.

If this value is not set to LocalSystem, On the Edit menu, click Modify.
In the Value data box, type LocalSystem, and then click OK.

Locate and then double-click the keys to delete (25, 26) and click edit delete for each of them.

That worked for me...hope it helps

**********I should say that you only delete keys 25 and 26, not the whole directory as it appears to be in my previous message!!!*********
