WAN Miniport (SSTP)
WAN Miniport (SSTP) error 39.....after installing SP1 (17052) , removed SP1..left me with this yellow warning triangle in device manager...
However it shows driver version 6.0.6001.17052, device status....Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)
Appears that SP1 left part of its information there. Everything seems to be working ok other than the warning

- I have the same problem. The installation of SP1 brings WAN Miniport (SSTP) driver. After removing SP1 you can finde the WAN Miniport (SSTP) driver in the device manager with a yellow warning triangle.
It seems, that the WAN Miniport (SSTP) driver makes some problems with the internetconnection. I am not able to load any Website. Every Webbrowser says that the Adress is not valid.
I would like to deinstall the WAN Miniport (SSTP) driver. But i don' t know how to do this.
Thanks for your help,
best regards - Me too!
Any luck by now? Hey - guess what - I found a fix! This worked for me, I hope it works for you...
I installed the Vista SP1 beta. I then uninstalled it cos it sucks. I then found that the Wan miniport wasn't working and couldn't be deleted or uininstalled.
This is the solution:
Use the following commands to be carried out as the user Administrator (Run as Administrator) from Command prompt (cmd):
netcfg -e -u ms_sstpminiportThis will delete the wan miniport. If you want to install it again it should be on your network disks.
You may have to find the course Hardware ID device from the Device Manager and selecting the Details tab-> Hardware IDs if it is not 'ms_sstpminiport' which is causing the problem.
I am not technically minded so please don't blame me if this doesn't work or if it mucks up your system. Don't bother to ask me any questions because I probably won't know the answer. But it did work for me! Yoo hoo!!
Good luck!

- Thanks, it worked for me.
Hey, I was having same problem and this worked for me also. THANKS !!. I believe SSTP is a new tunneling protocol to be part of SP1 but not part of original Vista release.

Thanks much, C00lnshady! Worked for me as well.
- Great, it work for me.
Thanks. This also fixed a weird Windows Update error that stopped updates for over a week.

Worked for me man, thanks
It was pretty annoying seeing it pop up everytime I opened the Device Manager. Thanks again.- c00lnshady - WELL DONE!!
I bumbled along this yesterday and
- impatiently selected and copied the fix text you suggested [ netcfg -e -u ms_sstpminiport ]
- clicked that Windows Vista 'start' menu button
- selected the 'run' command link
- typed in 'cmd'
- right-clicked and pasted that in
- whacked 'enter' on me partners Toshiba A200-1ai laptop that I use more than im
- hit F5 in the Device Manager window
- and saw that stupid error device of a WAN Miniport (SSTP) whatever it is now not there
WOOHAY!!!
Because as tironabardheblu has said, was just driving me nuts popping up and clicking it away all the time like the UAC doesn't mean I click like far too much already - Microsoft could well have people suing over RSI soon enough as they seem to be promoting the need to do this - security over health??
I rebooted just to be sure and hope broadband connection was not messed up or something and all was fine and dandy.
Now then just today after coming back to read and double check what exactly the WAN Miniport (SSTP) is, so I maybe knew which part of the laptop may now not be functional/available thinking maybe it was a TV port typed ting - but that is S-Video noh! Lol - I 'googled' "What is a WAN Miniport (SSTP)" and got linked to this again
and then tried "WAN Miniport (SSTP) site:microsoft.com" and came across this article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/948263 entitled "Error message when you view a WAN Miniport (SSTP) network adapter or a WAN Miniport (NDISWANBH) network adapter in Device Manager in Windows Vista: "Error code 39"" which states "This problem occurs because SSTP network adapters and NDISWANBH network adapters are not supported in the release version of Windows Vista. The devices should not be displayed in Device Manager." and does not offer any fix other than to ignore (impossible for me!!) (though does state it relates to Beta releases - not that they seem to have changed too much from the Beta to actual release - but then again was apparently last reviewed on the 10 Feb 2008!!!)
Thus our Windows Vista systems should not be messed up by your fix which so far for those I have seen posted and myself, all seems negatively unaffected by this fix
with sheer positive exclaim.
Now I shall return to faffing with trying to sort out the NVIDIA driver problems and hope that I can soon install SP1 which I also hope will fix an issue where I think Windows vista driver (dll) library is highly unstable as many standard applications have been suddenly coming up with errors relating to being unable to locate dll files and then failing to launch/work properly and just making the decision to go with Windows Vista as it is latest OS release and was partner who put in most seem even more like the most illogical nonsense...
This is after spending most of the Fri evening trying to keep 3 kittens and a cat off the laptop whilst making three full attempts to install the SP1 as Windows Update stated and having each rollback for ages after failure at Stage 3 100% each time and then hopelessly trying to troubleshoot with error messages relating to NVIDIA and the WAN Miniport (SSTP) (each discovered to be connected through the sheer frequent exasperation of trying to find technical information within Windows Vista about the system and what is causing those error messages) and being unable to 'surf' before being knackered but at least feeling successful after finding your fix!!
SORRY FOR BABBLING BUT I THINK THIS POST WAS USEFUL!!!
Maybe a Mac next time, the time it might take to get used to Apple might be better than the time to faff with trying to troubleshoot Windows... However I think Windows appeels to those who are not quite sure what they want (moi!!) outta things and feel Windows will be adaptable as you can experiment and have many options available with applications and games to try etc, most businesses use Windows OS's (even UK airport Passport Control!!!) and MAC never feels like it will tell you how to do things (Windows tutorials available with all sorts!!) which thought good for the brave, quite scary for the rest eh...
But for now, we have cool forums and nice communities of us Windows baffled people... all united in elevated Windows/Microsoft stress levels where we can be calmed and no longer feel alone in our Vista etc. plight(s)

Now found out through Microsoft help desk that I had to unistall Norton antivirus completely and then re-install - this finally worked - only taken me two days!!
I was having the same problem if you install Vista SP1 with Windows Update for the first time what you can do is uninstall Windows Vista SP1 in Windows Update then installed back the same way With Windows Update this work for me.
I seen this article in Microsoft Web page. You should be GOOD TO GO. This will also fix connecting to the Internet.

- I hate Service Pack Sp1. After the install, my itunes forgot every setting each time that I shut down my computer. Also my computer did not shut down properly, ever. So I got rid of it. And I as well was left with this Miniport SSTP on my harddrive.
This lost driver kills my sound. It completely removes my sound driver information. I dont know why it would do such a thing. It seems like its for connecting to a network. But it kills sound. All sound. And my Video playback is choppy now.
Can anyone help fix this.
I hate windows updates, they always fuq stuff up.
I wish I had a MAC - awesome man, thanks for your post. removing just sstpminiport didn't work for me, then i saw your post. Now i can sleep better!!
- Hello.
I have Vista Basic SP1, and saw this driver with an ! mark, etc, and the 6t04 drivers, thought it was a bit wierd so removed all of them. Now every time the "Remote Access Connection Manager" (the service that looks after Dial Up connections and VPN's) starts, it blue screens.
The BSOD error is 0x8E and is usually caused by hardware issues, but in this case, however, a driver is cited rassstp.sys and is related to RAS SSTP Miniport Call Manager. RASSSTP.SYS is a part of the Microsoft OS.
The "Whocrashed" minidump, extraction tells me:
On Mon 13/04/2009 10:42:30 PM your computer crashed
This was likely caused by the following module: rassstp.sys
Bugcheck code: 0x1000008E (0xC0000005, 0x0, 0x9DA1BA48, 0x0)
Error: KERNEL_MODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED_M
The RASSSTP.SYS is the driver for the WAN MINIPORT (SSTP) as above here. I disabled the service in Services. Completely stable PC on network, browsing through ADSL works no problems.
However, this PC has only dial up ( im working on it for someone else) and it will NOT allow RAS to start, or configure any dial up connections. Set service to manual, to enable the dial up to work. Blue Screen.
Disabling the Device will not stop the bsod when Vista starts the service, the service itself has to be diabled.
If at any time you want to restart this service, the Dell PC blue screens.
I have reinstalled network drivers, etc. No avail.
So, in the end I followed the instructions to remove the MINIPORT driver, as on this page, and after I removed it, and now want to reinstall it, as it will not come back.
The Remote Access Connection Manager" Service will now NOT start. It tells me its missing a dependency, i.e. the miniport driver device that its trying to kick off.
I need to know how to put it back, and its driving me nuts.
;0) - I have solved this problem. Now Microsoft confirms this to be a problem (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/948263 ) which you can ignore apparently, except when it causes a Blue Screen of Death.
You have to 1st remove the SSTP miniport entry, and then get Vista to put it back. ( this Fix applies to Vista Service SP1)
1st to stop the BSOD, Start Vista in safe mode,
----------------------------------------------
Go to Control Panel, Administration Tools, Services, and find the service
"Remote Access Connection Manager" (the service that looks after Dial Up connections and VPN's).
Set this to DISABLED. This stops if trying to launch under normal mode, which triggers the "Blue Screen".
To remove the errant SSTP Driver
--------------------------------
start Vista again.
Use the following commands to be carried out as the user Administrator (Run as Administrator) from Command prompt (cmd):
"netcfg -e -u ms_sstpminiport"
This ReMOVES the entry.
To Replace the SSTP entry (without which the Remote Accesss Connection Manager Service" cannot Start.
-------------------------
Reboot your PC, start Vista as normal,
Download DEVCON, a command prompt dev tool from Microsoft. Devcon is available here:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/311272
Download the ZIP file, and put it somewhere handy like C:\windows\system32 to save having to put a path when you run it. If you have a broken dial up, you have to download this from elsewhere before you start.
Run Command Prompt (using the Run As Adminstrator Option).
Type the command :
devcon install c:\windows\inf\netsstpa.inf ms_sstpminiport
Watch the command for it finishes. If it errors, dont worry, it needs a reboot yet, and some of the commands cannot finish while your logged on.
Reboot the PC.
Go to Control Panel, Administration Tools, Services, and find the service
"Remote Access Connection Manager" (the service that looks after Dial Up connections and VPN's).
Set this to Manual (or Automatic).
You should find that this service can now start (if it has not already. My 1st run at this fix, set the start of the service back to Manual when I ran the devcon). You should find that the Dial Up functions are now back online, and the blue screen is just a memory that has gone. Took me 2 days to get to this point, but its better than a re-installation from scratch. PC now works with no issues.

- This is the first real solution. It worked 100% after about five attemps to activate SP1. Thanks
- Excellent solution !!!C00lnshady / Thank you
You are also very humble man !
You have the correct answer to this frustrating problem !
PS ; Cmd Command SHOULD BE EXACTLY AS YOU HAD STATED ! ( SPACES IN BETWEEN ALSO ! )
Command prompt (cmd):
netcfg -e -u ms_sstpminiport
WORKED WERY WELL !
Thank you
