I disabled Symantec and same problem. A little more detail I have found
since posting. Although my network connection is not visible, I am connected
to the network and other users can access my files on the network. When
opening Network Connections under Control Panel, I receive error "Network
Connections folder unable to retrieve the list of network adapters. Make
sure Network Connections service is enabled". Went to run, services.msc,
Network Connections is set to automatically start. However, it was not
started and when I try to start it, I receive error: "Could not start the
Network Connection" Error 998: Invalid access to memory location.
