    Thanks for reply, I've try your suggestions but it's still broken. I think my main problem is ICW, I read this article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/265494 ; they say you should change the binary value from 00 to 01 in the following registry key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Connection Wizard, but this registry key is not exist on my computer, how can I fix this?
