Unable to open network connections folder

hi all,
i have a problem with entering the network connections folder.
When i try to enter it from Controlpannel/network and internet/network and sharing center, i can click on the link manage network connections but windows doesn't respond at all.
i also tryed entering controlpannel/network and internet/network connections in the navigation bar, resulting in an error message saying it cannot find controlpannel/network and internet/network connections.

i really hope somebody can help me out here,
ps. sorry for bad grammar

Try clicking the Start Orb and type ncpa.cpl and click on it when it appears. Does that bring up the page you're looking for?

Restore your system using the option of 'system restore' to default. Now you can open network connections folder.

You might try running sfc /scannow in an elevated command prompt to check/repair system files. See SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker

Too many times, not likely to do you any good. Although I do have to ask if it's progressing further along on each run. There was a mention of a System Restore in a previous post. It's a worthwhile endeavor as it works very well.

If you're looking for a repair or reinstall let us know, or check out the tutorials for doing this on this site. Very well written and accurate.
