Unexpected Error Occurred in Network Connections

Aaron LaBarge

When I right-click for 'Properties' on the
local area connection
instance within network connections I receive
the message "An unexpected error occurred."
and the properties page does not display. The
network appears to work ok though. I tried to
uninstall the hardware driver, but the connection
instance created after re-install does the same
thing. Any suggestions? Thanks!
 
Click Start | Run | type "SFC /Scannow". Insert the XP Cd in the drive. This
may be a problem with ras dlls.

Check if there are restrictions in place:

Also, does it happen to all users?

Hi Aaron,

Thank you for posting!

According to your post, I understand that you get the error "An unexpected
error occurred" when you access the properties of the network connections
in Windows XP.

Please boot into Safe Mode and then go to Device Manager to remove all the
devices under Network Adapters. After that, boot into Normal Mode to
reinstall the network adapter to test it.

If the problem still occurs, perform an in-place upgrade to replace all the
system files:

Hope this helps!

Have a great day!

OR

GO TO C:\\WINDOS\\SYTEM32
OPEN THE FILE netshell.dll OPEN WITH RegSvr32.EXE
AND RESTART YOUR SYSTEM
OR
1.Click Start, and then click Run. 2.In the Open box, type regsvr32 %systemroot%\system32\ole32.dll, and then click OK.3.In the RegSvr32 dialog box, click OK.4.Restart the computer.

OPEN THE FILE ole32.dll OPEN WITH RegSvr32.EXE




 
any other solutions?

Are there any other suggestions as to how to fix this same problem? I tried the reregistration of the .dll's as suggested here, but the problem still persists. The network is working fine, but i cannot access or edit the properties. Thanks in advance.
