| Help! Dependency service or group failed to start Windows Vista Ultimate. New Dell D630 (O.S. factory installed). Sudden inability to communicate with network either by Wi-Fi, ethernet card, or Verizon Broadband wireless service. The message on the WiFi indicator says Dependency service or group failed to start. The diagnosis utility says the computer doesn't have a network card installed or configured. Everything was working fine until all three stopped working. The Bluetooth module is still working. Any help (and solutions) much appreciated. Tony |

Before going to the ultimate (and worst case) solution which would be to re-install the O.S., I ran cmd/sfc /scannow which is the Windows file checker. It corrected some errors and now things are working again. I commend Dell for helping me fix what was clearly a problem caused by faulty Microsoft software. As someone who's used computers for almost 30 years, it still very frustrating that errors like system file corruptions occur in a brand new O.S., and that the system isn't capable of automatically identifying faults and correcting them itself. Users should not have to dig around in Windows services. Ideally, a computer would identify that all is not well and either fix it itself, or connect to a Microsoft website for a comprehensive diagnosis and repair of all damaged files. Tony |

| RE: Help! Dependency service or group failed to start Hi Tony, I am having the same problem -- only with a new Toshiba Satellite. I have been unable to run the file checker, i.e., I can't seem to find it. Can you give me the entire sequence or tell me how to find it? Thanks loads! "Tony K" wrote: > Windows Vista Ultimate.

Where is stays ''Start search', enter 'cmd'. A new window opens. Type 'sfc /scannow' and that begins the scan and repair process. This is what I did and it worked for me. No guarantees it's going to fix your problem. As I said, it's crazy that this kind of software error can occur in 2008. Good luck. |

| Re: Help! Dependency service or group failed to start You may be more fortunate than me. I have had the same error too, and as a result, I haven't been able to connect to the Internet. Is this the same with you. As for the sfc/scannow command, you can temporarily designate yourself as an administrator. If you click on the Start Orb and type in 'cmd' in the search box, one of the results should be the Command Prompt shell. Right click on that and choose 'Run as administrator' and then you will be able to use that command. Perhaps it will work for you. When I ran it, it said that one file was corrupted and this file doesn't seem like it can be fixed (npmproxy.dll).

| Re: Help! Dependency service or group failed to start I have problems with services which seems like yours. After installing SP1 I can't use network services. It says "dependency service failed to start" etc. I cant rollback the SP1 setup (coz I haven't made restore point before, haven't Vista DVD). What should I do? :( -- pylnik ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pylnik's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/pylnik.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/vista-help/870516.htm http://forums.techarena.in |
