Lost my VPN Connection and can't recreate!!!

[kdhl23]

I had a problem about a week and a half ago where I turned on my pc and for some reason could not log on. After spending an entire day trying to figure out what happened, we discovered that my drives had renamed themselves and that my C: was nonexisitant as far as naming goes. (It was renamed as drive E:.) Well, got that corrected, and as each day goes by, I find more of my settings are gone/changed. I discovered yesterday that my setting for my VPN connection was gone. Ok, figured I'd recreate it in my Network Places... only half of the options are shaded out (including the one to create a VPN connection). I'm set up to have the same functionality as an administrator here, but for some reason I'm not able to set this up. Any suggestions? (Os= Windows 2000 SP4)

I see many people have read my plea for help, but still have no assistance.. If it clears anything up, logging in as Administrator on the same computer doesn't change the outcome- still no option for creating hte VPN connection... the option is shaded out... ANY suggestions would be appreciated!!!
