Help! Vista Cannot create dialup/VPN connections "The wizard cannot create the connection"

I have a new Sony laptop that was having some problems, so I
reformatted the drive and did a system restore. I took all the
preinstalled junk off the computer, and then installed office 2007.

When I went to create a VPN connection today I followed the standard
process of clicking "Set up a connection or network," selected the VPN
option and entered all the login info, etc.

Regardless of whether I click connect now, or just click the "Save and
connect later" checkbox, the system gives an error a few seconds after
the final screen saying "The wizard cannot create the connection."

As a test, I tried creating a dummy dial-up connection and it claimed
it could not find any modems, and then threw the same error when I
tried to save the connection anyway.

I've googled to no avail and have no idea where to start since I am
new to Vista. Please save me from doing another reimage/de-junk/re-
install!

Thanks!

Pat

I also have this problem. Min is on a HP nx7400 with Vista Business.
Cannot set up VPN and I also have the same problem with modem...i.e. it
says it can't detect one. It is driving me nuts!

I have fixed my VPN problem. Reset to factory default and then added as
soon as the pc was ready.

Hooray!! Apart from wasting 2 hours of my time.

The problem was caused by a group policy on our work domain, (have no
yet isolated whick one). To get around this I created a new OU, an
blocked policy inheritance

Once you have created the OU and moved the pc/laptop to it, open
command prompt, then type gpupdate /force and then reboot

The "Telephony" service is not enough.

You also need to have the "Remote Access Connection Manager" servic
started (although no event in Event Log seems to indicate the wizar
would need it
