If you say "formatting" to say you solved problem by reinstalling the
Operating System ... way way way to drastic at this jucture.

Say more ... what network components do you have? Vendor, model, how
connected, etc. What is "this error"? Did it ever work? What changed
near the time it stopped working?
 
well, i have a linksys wireless network adapter, but I will try and explain the problem in more detail

basically an error came up and said that windows explorer encountered and error, the taskbar disappeared for sec then came back, and when it did, the little computer screen icon that signifies data transfer on the network i am on did not reappear, then when i went into network connections the wireless connection no longer showed up there, i tried to refresh, but it still did not appear, then i tried to click on set up a small home or buisness network icon, but nothing happened, it acted like it wanted to start, but the setup wizard never enabled, i tried unpluggin and plugging back in the usb cable for the network adapter, but still nothing, in the task manager it shows up as functioning properly but i cant seem to access it at all, as far as the error goes, this is the error info that i got when i looked up the event,

Product: Windows Operating System
ID: 7005
Source: Service Control Manager
Version: 5.0
Component: System Event Log
Symbolic Name: EVENT_CALL_TO_FUNCTION_FAILED
Message: The %1 call failed with the following error:

after that, the above i explained happened, now it will no longer enable the small home or office network wizard and i can not access my wireless connection even though the task manager shows that it is still available and functioning.

thanks for your reply, hope the info i included helps.
 
Have you tried "System Restore"
