XP firewall - can't activate - get error 1068

[alan]

I continue to get error 1068 - "dependency service or
group failed to start" when trying to enable firewall.

Alan,

Could you prehaps outline some details of your system,
although I would prehaps check this KB first, it may not
be 100% to the problem you are having, but would read it
anyway:

Also detail any changes you have made to the system
before this event started to happen

Thanks

Mike Bright MCP, MSP

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. If one or more of these
isn't already started, start it and set it to start automatically.
