Can't display "Properties" for Network Connections - WMI corruption?

When I right-click on either of my network connections
(dial-up internet or LAN) in Win. XP Home (no SP1),
and try to view the Properties of that connection, I get an
error message that says it "can't display properties for the
network connection" and that "the WMI information might
be corrupted" and that I "should do a system restore to an
earlier point to correct the problem."

Unfortunately, I don't have a restore point to restore to.
Is there some other way to fix this? I would like to avoid
doing a repair installation of XP, if possible. Would installing
SP1 (I have it on CD) possibly fix this?

Thanks,

Bob
 
Try control-panel,R.click internet connection,then L.click the internet icon
go to file,properties.You should have SP1 installed.
