Country Drop Down in Modem control panel empty

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.setup (More info?)

When I go into the "Phone and Modem Options" in the
control panel it wants me to select the Country and put
in my area code like it does the first time you open this
panel. The issue is the drop down for the Countries is
empty, and it will not allow me to type in a country.
But I can not push OK because it says I need to select a
country. But I can not Cancel because it kicks me out
with out setting up any modem settings. I tried running
the Windows Repair off of the Win 2000 CD with no luck.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
