    Found this somewhere and seemed to help resolve the problem

    Quote:

    The MSN Connection manager is installed when you start to install MSN Explorer -- Was that the setup wizard you started (has a butterfly icon) rather than MSN Messenger (has an icon of two people)? MSN Explorer is included with XP; MSN Messenger you would have had to download.

    The missing device will be displayed if you don't have a dial up modem.

    You can right click the Connection Manager and delete it.

    To uninstall MSN Explorer, go to Control Panel | Add/Remove Programs. Check if you see MSN there (will be here if updated from the version included with XP).
    If not there, click Add/Remove Windows Components, scroll down to MSN Explorer. If checked, uncheck it.
