XP firewall will not activate

I noticed that my XP firewall was down. When I tried to activate it, I got a failure message "The Dependency Service Group Failed To Start". I read where one of the Service Groups necessary for the firewall was the "Remote Access Connection Manager". When I checked it out the service was not running. When I tried to start the manager I got a failure... error code 5 message. In desperation I reinstalled my XP Home Edition operating system, but the problem persists.

Is this going to be another one of those "Eternal Mystery" phenomenon we all occasionally have to endure until we upgrade to our next new system?

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.
