Thanks in advance1 person needs an answerI do too

"The dependency service does not exist or has been marked for deletion" means that an application has attempted to start a service, but a service that this service depends on is not installed or is in the process of being deleted. See if this helps: Open Services... Click Start> Run, type: services.msc and click OK Scroll down to and double-click Plug and Play Set startup type to Automatic and click Apply Click the Start button and when Plug and Play starts, click OK Repeat the above procedure for Remote Procedure Call (RPC), and for Logical Disk Manager. Then scroll down to and double-click Logical Disk Manager Administrative Service | Set the Startup Type to Automatic and click Apply Click the Start button and after the service starts, click OK Close Services.
