Services dependecy error

[Guest]

Here is the error I keep getting.
I have removed SP 2 trying to trouble shoot.
"Win32: The dependency service or group failed to start"

With SP2 installed I could not setup or even start the ICS service to enable
the Firewall.

Any ideas anyone?

Thank you

Hi

If you don't have WinXP SP2 installed, try this one:

Please try this if you have SP2 for WinXP installed:

Start/Run --> cmd.exe

and then, in the command prompt that opened up, type:

netsh.exe winsock reset

and hit Enter. Follow prompts and reboot.


If that didn't work, see if registering the following DLLs helps:

From Start/Run, run the following commands:

regsvr32 %windir%\system32\atl.dll

then

regsvr32 %windir%\system32\hnetcfg.dll
regsvr32 %windir%\system32\netshell.dll
regsvr32 %windir%\system32\netcfgx.dll
regsvr32 %windir%\system32\netman.dll

Then do a reboot.
