window

 

Begin with Start (bottom left of your desktop). Where is stays
Start
search', enter 'cmd'. A new window opens. Type 'sfc /scannow' and that
begins the scan and repair process

I've been having this same problem ever since I uninstalled toshiba
component software to replace it with a more up to date software. Back
to the point, I have been browsing the replies and I have come across
people stating that the cmd requires you to be an administrator. In
response to this I have worked out that to begin this process as an
administrator. After you have typed in 'sfc /scannow' and it has
completed you will be required to restart your machine.

Before opening the cmd, you must right click on this and click on 'run
as administrator' and allow under UAC. I hope this proves helpful to you
and that I haven't repeated anyone.

I have just carried out this and the result of it was that it did work
for me but there is accounts of this failing to work for other people. I
hope this has come of some help to people.

My laptop is a Toshiba Sattellite A300 1BZ, originally came with Vista
Home Premium then I installed XP and recently put on Vista Bussiness.

If you are receiving the notification:
Connection status: Unknown
Dependency service or group failed to start;
and you are running Vista and using Trend Micro for virus protection,
then a fix is available for your problem.

The problem is that Trend Micro mistakenly identified a Windows
service, Network Location Awareness service, as a virus and altered the
service to protect the system. I have written up the fix on my blog. I
wrote after I found the same problem on 2 PCs in one week and spent
hours looking for a fix.



Best,

Hi. I'm new to this forum - I found it looking for the problem in this
thread.

I tried the various methods listed - none actually worked for me but
then I had a "once in a lifetime" piece of lateral thinking:
If Vista is complaining about not being able to start a service then
maybe it's been disabled. So I looked in Services (Admin Tools) and
clicked the Startup Type column so they were sorted and easy to see
which ones were disabled.
Sure enough, there was Network Location Awareness marked as Disabled
(it was that I was having trouble with). I changed it to Auto and
everything now works. Of course I could have changed to Manual and
started it when needed.

Sometimes it's the easy things we overlook! I hope this helps someone.

I'm having the same issues, but none of the fixes in this thread have
worked. I haven't tried doing a full system restore yet, but I'm about
5 min. away from doing. Has anyone found a fix for this yet?

All of this started when my Norton Subscription ran out. I was waiting
for it to run out as I have Mccaffe (sp?), but that wont install now
either.

For some reason, I've had nothing but issues with Vista...

I did a system restore to a prior date and this worked for me. I had
tried the scannow option and the winsock reset but both failed . The
system restore did the trick.

Sharkymate has the right fix. I've spent my entire day trying to repair
this problem and stumbled on his "cure". I did Windows Restore,
cmd.exe, etc etc. and was also getting error 10107(which is windows
socket error). Just make sure you right click on cmd and run as
administrator-even if you're signed in as the administrator. I have a
brand new Toshiba satellite that this happened on.
Thanks again!

I had this exact problem. It started after I upgraded my Vista Business
laptop to SP1. I resolved it by re-installing but think my story might
help.

None of the adivce here or in other places on the web helped.

I setp 2 laptops. Both Dell. One is a D620 one is a E4300. Both have
4gig's or RAM.

THe D620 setup perfectly with no issues. It ran updates all the way to
SP2 with no issues is working great. It's about 2 years old.

The E4300 went fine until it got to SP1 which is when I started getting
the Red X over the network settings even though I was on internet and
VPN fine. I had issues trying to setup a modem with contact dll errors.
After a day of trying all the help in this thread and other places I
gave up and went to bed. In the middle of the night I realised the
difference!

The D620 had run the INITIAL Vista setup with the network cable plugged
in but the E4300 had run it without the cable plugged in.
The D620 had run through all the updates with downloads of up to 50mb.
The E4300 had run most of the updates with downloads of over 200mb.

I re-installed the E4300 from the inital install with the network
plugged in and it ran completely smoothly. It's 100% now. Patched all
the way to SP2.

So it's something to do with the initial install being able to get to
the internet for lastest drivers or patches or updates or something
DURING the install.

Hope it helps.
