Try running the Computer Browser service:

1. Right click My Computer, and click Manage.
2. Double click Services and Applications.
3. Double click Services.
4. Double click Computer Browser. If the Service status is Stopped,
click Start.
5. Set the Startup type to Automatic.

What exactly does the error message say?

Without knowing what the services tweak did, it's hard to say how to
fix the problem. Are there any relevant messages in Event Viewer? To
run it, click Start | Control Panel | Performance and Maintenance |
Administrative Tools | Event Viewer. For more information, see:
