I checked and resecured them. I then looked in network connections and found out that everything had disappeared with no icons.I’ve tried all the suggestions I could find online to restore it to no avail, even did a system restore. Now I’m in DOS mode and having it check the HD for issues but if this doesn’t work, I guess I’ll have to reinstall Windows.

In System > Hardware Devices, my network adapter was missing from the line-up unless I choose show hidden devices. By doing that, I saw that the computer reported no problems with the network adapter. So I’m at a loss. I’ve just ran the Repair Windows option and it still isn’t working.

So now I’m going to copy the partition for my HD and then reinstall Windows. :
