I cant access Lan Properties or Device Manager properties
Hi All,
I have a problem with XP Pro.
All ahs been well and last night I installed a few programs to try them out - they came on a CD.
Now if I right click my network connection and select properties I get an error - an unexpected error occured. I then went into dvice manager to see if it was a driver issue but again when I select properties (for ANY hardware device) nothing happens.
I have removed all the programs I installed. I have reinstalled the network card, tried system restore (failed), used sfc /scannow but still have the problem. SOmething is obviously wrong - any ideas where the problem could be?

Safe Mode made no difference.
Interestingly I have just noticed that IE cannot open pages in new windows - so if I right click the link above and select open in new window,it opens the window but not the page
Also my VPN connection does not work
Cant really work through the microsoft document - because I cannot access the settings for the COM+ Event
Disabled card - made no difference

Tried the tcp/ip reset - had no effect.
