Hello all,

I am having an issue with an old laptop that will access the internet.

Running: Vista 32bit

1) Under Network and Sharing Center it says Unknown The dependency or group failed to start. It doesn't recognise any networks when I plug in the ethernet cable to the router.

2) It identifies the wireless and it connects with limited connectivity. So I am unable to view webpage.

3)Device Manager does not show any errors on the network adapters and I have reinstalled them both.

Can anyone please help?
 
I have finally found the solution so this thread can officially be closed.

In case anyone else comes across this problem my solution was...

Click the start button, search for cmd. Right click, run as Admin.

Type in the following commands:

net localgroup administrators localservice /add
net localgroup administrators networkservice /add
exit

Then reboot.

Good night.:rolleyes:
