My computer had gotten a virus, and because I had been meaning to reformat soon anyway, I just went ahead and reformatted. However, a lot of problems came up (I'll be posting in other places too), one of which being that my Network Connections is completely blank. When I try to create a Local Area Network nothing happens. I have a built in ethernet port, so the CD that came with my motherboard has an updated driver for it, which I installed. That didn't work, so I tried to uninstall the drive and then reinstall the drive, and then install the drivers, that also didn't work.

If you go into device manager, does your Ethernet adapter show up as installed?

You have to install all the drivers for your motherboard, not just the Ethernet controllers.

If your Network Connections is completely empty, you mostly can solve this by doing the following:

Click at start / run
type in CMD and click ok
run the following 3 commands:
regsvr32 netman.dll
regsvr32 netcfgx.dll
regsvr32 netshell.dll

This should solve that problem.
After that, you should be able to check your network settings.
