Error 667: Cannot Read Media.ini

SYMPTOMS
========

After you install and then remove Planet Internet, you may receive one
of the following error messages when you attempt to connect to MSN, The
Microsoft Network, or another Internet service provider using Dial-Up
Networking:

- Cannot read Media.ini.

- Error 667 (MSN 2.5 only).


CAUSE
=====

Removing Planet Internet may delete a registry key that is necessary to
connect to MSN.


The deleted key is:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\
RemoteAccess\Authentication\SMM_Files\PPP ["Path"="rasapi32.dll"]


Planet Internet replaces the Path string with "smmscrpt.dll" on
installation and then completely removes the string on uninstall.

1. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.


2. Double-click Add/Remove Programs.


3. On the Windows Setup tab, click Communications, and then click
Details.


4. Click the Dial-Up Networking check box to clear it.

It has been reported that this error message may occur if the PPP
Manager installed by the CompuServe WOW! Service is installed. To

double-click Add/Remove Programs.
