<br />
== SYMPTOMS ==<br />
<br />
You may experience one of the following symptoms:<br /><br />
<br />
<ul><br />
<li>When you try to create a new Dial-Up Networking connection or open one in the Dial-Up Networking folder, you may not be able to select your modem in the Install New Modem wizard.</li><br />
<li>When you open '''Dial-up Networking''' you are prompted to install a modem.</li><br />
<li>If you look in Device Manager, you see the currently installed modem with the following device status in the modem's properties:<br />
<div class="indent"><br />
<br />
<p>This device is working properly.</p><br />
<br />
</div></li></ul><br />
<br />
If you open the Modem tool in Control Panel, and then click '''More Info''' on the '''Diagnostics''' tab, you do not receive any error messages.<br />
<br />
</div><br />
<div class="cause_section"><br />
<br />
== CAUSE ==<br />
<br />
This behavior can occur if one of the TAPI components are damaged or missing, or if a third-party Telephony driver is referenced in the registry and that driver is damaged or incompatible with Windows.<br />
<br />
</div><br />
<div class="resolution_section"><br />
<br />
== RESOLUTION ==<br />
<br />
To resolve this issue, follow the steps in each method. At the end of each method, test to see if the issue is resolved.<br />
=== Method 1: Check for Third-Party Telephony Drivers ===<br />
<br />
'''WARNING''': If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.<br /><br />
Use Registry Editor to check the ProviderFilename0 value in the following registry key:<br />
<div class="indent"><br />
<br />
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Telephony\Providers<br />
<br />
<br />
</div><br />
'''NOTE''': The default value data for the ProviderFilename0 value is '''TSP3216L.TSP'''. If the value data is not TSP3216L.TSP, export the Providers registry key, and then change the value data to TSP3216L.TSP.<br />
=== Method 2: Check for a Damaged Telephon.ini File ===<br />
<br />
<ol><br />
<li>Click '''Start''', point to '''Find''', and then click '''Files or Folders'''.</li><br />
<li>In the '''Named''' box, type <span class="kbd userinput"> telephon.ini tapiini.exe</span>, click your primary disk in the '''Look In''' box, and then click '''Find Now'''.</li><br />
<li>Right-click the Telephon.ini file, and then click '''Delete'''.</li><br />
<li>Double-click the Tapiini.exe file to create a new Telephon.ini file. For additional information, click the article number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:<br />

<br />
<p>[[../120221|120221]] How to Rebuild the Telephon.ini File</p><br />
<br />
</div></li></ol><br />
<br />
=== Method 3: Check for Damaged TAPI Components ===<br />
<br />
<ol><br />
<li>Click '''Start''', point to '''Find''', and then click '''Files or Folders'''.</li><br />
<li>In the '''Named''' box, type <span class="kbd userinput"> tapiini.exe tapi.dll tapiui.dll tapisrv.exe tapiupr.exe tapi16.exe remotesp.tsp tsp3216l.tsp tsp3216s.dll tlocmgr.exe telephon.cpl tcmsetup.exe tapi.inf</span>, click your primary disk in the '''Look In''' box, and then click '''Find Now'''.</li><br />
<li>For each file found, right-click the file, and then click '''Rename'''. Change the file extension on each file to .old.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
'''NOTE''': There is one TAPI file that requires you to rename it while you are in MS-DOS mode.</li><br />
<li>Click '''Start''', click '''Shutdown''', click '''Restart in MS-DOS mode''', and then click '''OK'''.</li><br />
<li>At the C:\Windows prompt type the following lines, pressing ENTER after each line:<br />
<div class="indent"><br />
<br />
<p>cd system<br /><br />
ren tapi32.dll tapi32.old<br /><br />
exit</p><br />
<br />
</div></li><br />
<li>Click '''Start''', click '''Run''', type <span class="kbd userinput"> sfc.exe</span> in the '''Open''' box, and then click '''OK'''.</li><br />
<li>In the System File Checker tool, click the '''Extract one file from installation disk''' option.</li><br />
<li>In the '''Specify the system file you would like to restore''' box, type <span class="kbd userinput"> tapi32.dll</span>, and then click '''Start'''.</li><br />
<li>In the '''Restore from''' box, click the drive where you installed Windows.</li><br />
<li>In the '''Save file in''' box, type <span class="kbd userinput"> c:\windows\system</span>, and then click '''OK'''. Repeat steps 6 through 9 for each of the files below.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
'''NOTE''': The Tapi.inf file is the only one of these files that does not reside in the C:\Windows\System folder. When you extract this file, change the '''Save file in''' box to '''c:\windows\inf'''.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
<br />
<div class="indent"><br />
<br />
<p>Tapi.inf<br /><br />
Tapiini.exe<br /><br />
Tapi.dll<br /><br />
Tapiui.dll<br /><br />
Tapisrv.exe<br /><br />
Tapiupr.exe<br /><br />
Tapi16.exe<br /><br />

Tsp3216s.dll<br /><br />
Tlocmgr.exe<br /><br />
Telephon.cpl<br /><br />
Tcmsetup.exe<br /><br />
</p><br />
<br />
</div></li><br />
<li>Restart the computer.</li></ol><br />
<br />
'''NOTE''': A damaged modem driver or incorrect modem driver can also create this problem. If the problem continues, try removing and reinstalling the modem from Device Manager. Make sure you have the current modem drivers available to reinstall.<br />
