If you try to right click a network connection in the Network Connections folder and select Properties, and you get an error message that says "an unexpected error occurred," that's not very helpful. The most common cause is damaged registry settings that prevent you from viewing the network connection's properties. Here's what you need to do to repair it:
Click Start Run/li>
In the Open box, type: regsvr32 %systemroot% \system32 \ netshell.dll/li>
Click OK in the dialog box If this doesn't resolve the problem, try this:
Repeat step 1 above
In the Open box, type: regsvr32 %systemroot% \ system32 \ ole32.dll
Click OK in the dialog box
Reboot the computer
