unable to open network connections

Comment:

I am having a problem with adding a HP laptop running XP Pro to a network. laptop was disconnected from network for a day or so,worked fine up until then. I now need to set up a new network connection on a new LAN. When I browse to the network connections folder, it fails to open. I cannot see any of the old connections. Error message reads as follows ' unable to open network connections folder '. Also when I browse to the Administrative Tools, I cannot open/launch any of these. If i try and lauch them from the start run command, I get the same error. Windows cannot open this .msc file. I have run all spyware and virus checkers I know of. Can anyone shed any light on this issue. Much appreciated.
