    What is the Operating System & Service Pack?

    What is the connection?

    All buttons are greyed out? Including Setup...?

    Windows Xp Professional With Midia Center. A Thing Is Sp2.
    The Conection Is Dial-up.
    And Yes All The Buttons Including Setup Are Greyed It Out.
    Thank You.

    There is a security setting in the registry that will enable/disable the connections tabs.

    It is reported here although I cannot confirm it on my machine:

    User Key: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Inte rnet Explorer\Control Panel]
    System Key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Int ernet Explorer\Control Panel]
    Data Type: REG_DWORD (DWORD Value)
    Value Data: (0 = disable restriction, 1 = enable restriction)

    Perhaps this may help (assuming that this is the issue).

    Have you rebooted since changing the registry? This is often necessary to create the changes invoked.
