Cannot enable Firewall - was Scanner Spyware

[Clare]

In an attempt to enable the firewall on my LAN (I'm using
a cable TV DSL), I checked the box for firewall
protection but I keep an error message that says:

"AN ERROR OCCURRED WHILE INTERNET CONNECTION WAS BEING
ENABLED. THE DEPENDENCY SERVICE OR GROUP FAILED TO START"

What should I do now?

Greetings --

Right-click My Computer > Manage > Services and Applications >
Services. In the right-hand pane, scroll down to right-click on the
Internet Connection Firewall and select Properties. Click the
Dependencies Tab. Make sure that all of the listed system
components/services are shown as started in the Services list.

Normally, you will need to have the Application Layer Gateway
Service, the Network Connections, the Network Location Awareness, and
the Remote Access Connection Manager started.
