I cannot connect to the Internet, even after restoring my
XP-based PC to an older date. I am getting the
message "The Network Connections folder was unable to
retrieve the list of Network adapters on your machine."
However, I can see the WAN and Realtek network connections
and the Device Manager says that they are working. Any
suggestions?

Maybe this will help
