Do the safemode again and let it re-install correctly or incorrectly.
If no good then go to the control panel and choose add.Add it again.
Now got to DUN and right click on your connectoid.If you get the port open or not 
found then look a the DUN connectoid field which you can access after the bad call 
and you may see duplicate or bogus entries for modems,so pick the one that 
works.When you have the right one and you connect the bad ones will disappear 
with luck.
