I'm using Windows XP Home, and when I open the list to choose my country when setting up my modem, the field is blank. When I originally set up the modem, the list was full of places. Everything else in the modem setup works fine, but I can't get online. I read about problems with this field being blank in Windows 95, but I can't find anything about this particular problem with XP. This is just the beginning of my problems getting online with dial-up, but this is most pressing right now. Does anyone know what to do about this?

The list of countries (Phone & Modem options from control panel) is part of Windows, and if it's blank, (part of) Windows in hosed.
I don't know what file/where in Windows this is stored (if you find out, please let us know), but would imagine a re-install of Windows (on top of your existing install) would correct the problem.

Aloha! Richard.

Thank you. I just got my computer a couple of months ago and its installed os. I will try to find where the heck that's stored, then see if I can fix it. My UN says it all!
