error code 0x8007277B

Question

Up until 2 days ago I was able to connect to the internet.  Now I get the error code in the title when I try to connect using the connection method in the start window.  the wizard error message reads as follows:

Component GUID: 7071ECA3-663B-4BC1-A1FA-B97F3B917C55

Component File: C\windows\system32\connect.dll

error code 0x8007277B <the error message could not be found>

I tried connecting throough other paths, but got a message telling me to start windows wireless services, then "windows could not resolve the problem"

Thanks, Pete
