Dial-Up Networking Does Not Start:

By clicking on Tapisrv.exe, you may have started a service you don't really
want to have running but since you don't mention what operating system you
are using, it's hard to be sure. In any case, read the info here if you are
running Windows XP:

In any case, your ISP, Coretel of Annapolis should be able to help you out
with the problem.

My computer is doing it's dead level best to make me crazy. I have a
home-based business and my PC is my livelyhood. Yesterday I started
getting the following error from TAPISRV.EXE: "This program has
performed an illegal operation..."
Clicking on details gives me this:
TAPISRV caused an invalid page fault in
module KERNEL32.DLL at 0177:bff7b997.

Then, to make things even more fun, I started having Outlook problems.
Whenever I open MS Outlook Express, if I am connected to my ISP it gives
me the following error: "MSINMN: This program has performed an illegal
operation"...yada, yada, yada. You know what I mean.
I hit Details and I get this:

I called a tech support guy I know, and he told me that TAPISRV.EXE has
to do with the modems and Dial-Up Networking and such. Okay, but why
does it also kill Windows Explorer and prevent my desktop icons from
coming up? He told me to shut down and do a cold boot in 5 minutes, but
it didn't work. While searching for the TAPISRV file with the "Find"
utility, I just happened to come accros a copy of TAPSIRV.exe on my
storage drive. Just for giggles I d-clicked on it and everything was
fine, until I had to restart, that is. this rewally has to stop.
As for Outlook Express, I have removed, rebooted and reinstalled MS
Outlook Express twice now with out any resolution of the problem. Is
there something I missed, or should be doing that I'm not?
Any help would be aprreciated.
Thank you
