Rick,

Thanks for the response. However, I have tried many times to reinstall
Virtual PC 2007. This has NOT fixed the problem. Likewise, I have tried to
manaully install the service though the network control panel. I get the
following when I try to do that:

Virtual PC failed to bind Virtual Machine Network Services driver to all the
network adapters.

To fix this problem, reinstall Virtual PC.

Note: I added these comments to my original post; however, they were not
included.
