Services problem.

[Guest Skuller]

Hi,

Client has returned from a trip with the story that the Vista laptop

ceased

to access the internet during the last 2 days.

 

HP laptop

O/S: Vista Home Basic.

 

Local Admin and Domain Admin accounts enabled and members of the Local

 

Admins.

Everything -was- running smoothly previously:

 

Current issues:

Network will not connect - error shows that "Diagnostic policy service"

is

not running..

Trying to start the following services give the following errors:

 

Error 5: Access is denied

- Diagnostic policy service

- Base filtering engine

- DHCP Client

- Windows Time

 

Error 1068: the dependancy group or service failed to start

- IKE AuthIP IPSec Keying Modules

- IPsec Policy Agent

- network list service

 

 

Error 1073741288

- Network location awareness

 

So the question arises, What went wrong, How did it go wrong, and how

to fix

it, short of a complete re-install ?

 

Open to all suggestions.
