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.
