    NSI Proxy Service won't start

    My interweb (internet) connection dissappeared for no apparent
    reason :-( and near as i can tell the network connection won't start
    cause the service(s) it depends on haven't started, and these
    services, (tcp/ip, dchp, etc.) won't start cause they're all dependent
    on the nsi proxy service which won't start cause, it's not there :-S

    Yes you read that correctly;

    it's there in the services list, but it won't start, it returns the
    error message "windows could not start the nsi service on local
    computer. error 193: 0xc1" when i try to start it.



    it's status shows "failed to read description. error code: 2"

    and when i click properties i get error "configuration manager: a
    general internal error occured." followed by error "the system could
    not find the file specified." not that i have a clue what the 'file
    specified' is or where it's supposed to be.

    i tried system restore to no avail, and my best guess is that the file
    it needs up and vanished like a fart in the wind, if thats the case
    can any one tell me what file it is, what directory it's in and where
    i can get a copy for vista x64.

    If that's not the case can anyone tell me what the case is, i've been
    without interweb for a while now, i can't say how long it's been cause
    without a connection it's hard to say when one day ends and another
    begins.

    all help appreciated :-)
