Click Start - All Programs - Accessories - Right click Command Prompt and choose Run As Administrator. Type (or copy the below five lines and one blank line underneath and right click in the command prompt window and choose Paste). This will start its dependent services in the correct order. sc start DCOMLaunch sc start RpcSs sc start BFE sc start mpsdrv sc start MpsSvc If there are any error messages copy the results to the clipboard - right click anywhere in the command prompt window, choose Mark, then select your text, right click the title bar and choose Edit then Copy (or press enter while text is selected). -- .. -- "Mtamlin" wrote in message news:037cf248-4d42-45c7-acff-18bfaa6cfc25... > when i try to activate windows firewall service it gets "error 1068 > dependency service or group failed to start"

You then need to type sc start MpsSvc To actually start the firewall. -- .. -- "DavidMCandy" wrote in message news:36f40948-7a3e-4004-8c3f-6702d13333b0... > Type the following in a command prompt > > sc config BFE start= auto > sc start BFE > > Report back what happens. > -- > .. > -- > "Mtamlin" wrote in message news:5c9530f3-9de0-4393-9d5a-4be85c256dfd... >> Thanks for the help its most appreciated this is the report >> >> >> >> Microsoft Windows [Version 6.0.6002] >> Copyright (c) 2006 Microsoft Corporation.

Really surprised me to see no-one start with a question, although MCP's are all trained to do this.. The user has come back with an entirely different 'solution' to those launched into by our so-called professionals here, related directly to what was going on in his/her system at the time (in this case an update). Another example might be that some advice on stopping various other services to speed up XP 'for free' had just been followed - just fixed exactly this problem, with exactly the same error messages on another PC after a user had done this, simple by racking down the services menu and starting all the commonly running services.
