I didn't have "ContextPlus" on my computer, but "Apropos" was there!
I, too, had a blank Device Manager, missing Network Connections and "modem not found" message. None of my anti-spyware programs (Spybot, AdAware, PestPatrol or Spy Sweeper) were able to fix it.
The AproposFix.exe file worked and VERY QUICKLY!
Thank you for the posting and making the fix available to the rest of us! You've saved my sanity and the time I would have spent doing a clean install. Thank you!
