XP Pro SP2 all updates

I can't open "network connections" to look at tcp/ip settings. I right
click on "network connections" in control panel and then click on
"open".....nothing happens.
If I open "network setup wizard" in control panel, it hangs up on the
second screen when "next" is clicked.

Everything else seems to be running fine. I have another machine on
the same router and it has no problems in the same area.

I ran sfc /scannow (one of the few suggestions I found in google
search), put in the WinXP CD as instructed, let it run until
completed, rebooted. No help.

Any thoughts?

With thanks,

Jack

Open Network Connections by double-clicking on it from the Control Panel>

Should also be able to do it the way the OP was trying to do it.

Thanks, but that's exactly my problem. I can't open it from control
panel with double click or with right click, or, for that matter, with
the right click function from the "local area connection" icon in the
systray. All other functions seem normal with left or right click.

Sorry, I'm clueless on the subject. A couple of google searches of
this group didn't help either.
