RESOLUTION

To correct this problem:

WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious, system-wide problems that may require you to reinstall Windows NT to correct them. Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems resulting from the use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use this tool at your own risk.

1. Run Registry Editor (REGEDT32.EXE).

2. From the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE subtree, go to the following subkey:

         \SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\HTTPS
   

3. For the following value name, remove MUP:

         Value Name: DependOnService
         Data Type:  REG_MULTI_SZ
         String:     MUP Tcpip AFD
   
   

4. Quit Registry Editor.

5. Shutdown and restart Windows NT.
