Default WAN Miniport (SSTP)

I recently noticed the WAN Miniport (SSTP) protocol in Device Manager is
reporting an error. First I attempted to uninstall it, hoping that when the
system found it again it would install properly. That failed. Next, I
uninstalled and installed my network card drivers, but it was to no avail.
Any other tips? I don't know since when it's been this way, but I recently
installed and, subsequently, uinstalled Vista SP1 beta. What is the WAN
Miniport's role anyway? My Internet connection seems to be stable.

Default WAN Miniport (SSTP)

This Miniport enables support to connect to a Windows 2008 Secure
Socket Tunneling Protocol (i.e., VPN server over SSL) server. It was
added as a part of Service Pack 1 and should have been removed when
you uninstalled the SP. Which version of the SP did you install?

I have no idea. It was the one made available on Dec. 14. That's all I
remember really.
