I searched and none of the 'answers' given can solve my problem. Basically I was sharing my LAN network through my wireless pci card. Since my wireless pci card broadcasts dual band a/b/g/n I figured it would help with my iphone and my other wireless networks. However one day it just stopped and I didn't quite have the time to fix it. But now I don't remember when it stopped working and I tried a system restore. Short of reformatting, which I really don't want to do, I'm stuck. When I try to activate sharing it tells me, "Windows could not start the Internet Connectino Sharing (ICS) service on Local Computer. Error 1075: The dependency service does not exist or has been marked for deletion." All my services for networking are on except this one. I tried the sfc /scan now, and it says nothing is wrong. I tried restoring to the earliest restore point I had... no luck. My computer doesn't have a virus. Please... help me

Double-click Non-Plug and Play drivers section D. Double-click the entryAncillary Function Driver for Winsock, and click theDriver tab E. Set theStartup type toSystem. F. Start theservice. Note down the error message if any. G. Similarly start the two other drivers namely: TCP/IP Protocol Driver NetBios over Tcpip H. Close Device Manager andrestart Windows. I. Now check if you can start the DHCP service. Method 2 Step 1 Reset TCP/IP A. Click start, type cmd in the start search box B. Right click cmd at the top of the menu and select run as administrator C. Type the following command in the command prompt:netsh int ip reset logfile.txt D. Restart the computer for the changes to take effect.

Hi, To uninstall and reinstall the wireless pci card driver first, and you may have a system In-Place Upgrade. In the meantime, to reset firewall to default and temporarily disable it.

Hey I'm really sorry it took so long, no none of these help me. http://tinypic.com/r/2pplg8k/6 system file checker DOES NOT WORK!!!!!!!!!! it says it found nothing. The picture shows something. http://tinypic.com/r/o07bea/6 - Event Viewer. http://tinypic.com/r/2qi916g/6 - Showing I cannot use ICS

To have a try with these two discussions. I think that there is some servcie which does not start. Error1075 is more relate to firewall, you'd better temporarily disable firewall for test. An error occurred while Internet Connection Sharing was being enabled. The dependency service or group failed? http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080721162912AA4SvL0 Error "An error occurred while Internet Connection Sharing was being enabled.

It appears... there is something wrong with my firewall...? http://tinypic.com/r/2rcbggo/6 I have mcafee that manages it though. Do you think that is why I'm having trouble with my ICS?

http://tinypic.com/r/zjtmvc/6 I decided to do what was said here, http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-security/windows-firewall-cant-change-some-of-your-settings/2679690e-c375-4232-ae45-404374386635. Just proving again SFC /SCANNOW picks up nothing. In addition that something is obviously wrong :( Now I'm going to say this before, that things came up wrong but perfectly clean BEFORE AND STILL after I set up a partition and installed a windows 7 again. In hopes I could transfer the GOOD files over. I haven't done it yet, because I would imagine it would be hell and I don't quite know what files to bring over. Any ideas?

Won't let me restore defaults. And I cannot do an in-place upgrade because my computer restarts 6 times before it actually boots up. A pain in the ass, and as such the loaded stuff to start doing an upgrade gets lost.
