The Netsetup.cpl error generally has two causes. It seems to be confined to users with Windows XP service pack 2 and is related to either an application from Verizon called IPMon32 or a Visual IP InSight application. IPMon32 is an application that is used by Verizon to provide the user with certain diagnostic tools. The Visual IP InSight Client is an application that deals with the Windows Dial-UP Networking. Interestingly both applications that cause the error message do not seem to effect the other applications but they have been said to be related in some way to spyware. Both applications are unnecessary to the workings of your system and take up an unusually large quantity of space.
Many users are not even aware that they have these applications installed on their system and in most cases they do not need either program for any reason. It makes sense to remove these programs especially if they are prompting an error message.
Take the following steps to disable the IPMon32 service:
- Go to your Start menu
- In the Run box type msconfig
- Click the Startup tab
- Uncheck IPMON32
- Click Apply
- Restart your computer
To Remove Visual IP InSight Client take the following steps:
- Go to Start
- Control Panel
- Add or Remove Programs
- Allow the list to populate this may take a few minutes
- Check to see if Visual IP InSight Client comes up on the list
- If it does highlight this program
- Click Remove if it is on your list, if it is not there exit the Control panel and you are finished with your task
- If you do remove the program proceed with exiting the Control Panel and restarting your computer
