I have a rather old Gateway laptop, with Windows XP. I haven't been able to connect to AOL for a few months, I've tried everything I can think of, and finally went to AOL Tech support. That was an experience in and of itself, but we finally found the problem. I have dial-up, and when I go to the "Remote Access Auto Connection Manager", from the Service in Administrative Tools, the status says "Stopped". Apparently that's why I can't connect. The modem works fine, I just can't talk to their network. When I try to click "Start", it tries for a moment, and then gives me an error message, saying the following:
"Could not start the Remote Access Auto Connection Manager service on Local Computer.

Error 10107: A system call that should never fail has failed."

I have no idea what that means, but it doesn't sound good. Can anyone help me try to fix this?

Thanks so much!
