Network Connection Properties not Opening

Hi everyone,

Everything was going just fine, and I was enjoying Wireless network, today I have to connect to a network via LAN ( with an RJ-45 ), and after that I am unable to open properties for any of my network connections. When I right click on any of the network connections then a menu appears with nothing in it, as you can see from the picture, and when I click on the last menu entry assuming it would be Properties, a dialog box appears with nothing written on it and an OK button, I want to change the network properties for my wireless network. Please help.

Thank You very much.

there is always another way. You could try a system file checker (sfc /scannow) to verify the system files. thats pretty harmless.

A repair install, less harmless but pretty safe. check in tutorials for how to (i'm not on a vista machine right now)

Have you tried adding another user and looking to see if they have the missing menu items?

Hope these things point you in the right direction.

Let me know if it doesn't work
