Error 0x80072EFD...NO FIREWALL

I am NOT running a firewall...well, Windows Firewall, but I've already tried
to shut that off and it still comes up with the error. This is my plain old
simply home computer..no network, nothing fancy. I'm not all that computer
savvy, so plain layman terms would be very helpful.

This is driving me insane.

Thanks for any help.
