I have problems to access the homegroup on one of my computers networked

I can't access the homegroup on one of my computers networked: I can't view/print the password or leave the homegroup.

The homegroup listener service is not running and does not start; It depends on the Server service which does not also.

All the services depends on "Server" are running, while I find not all controls bound to the drivers SMB or srvnet.

The error message when the Server service or the HomeGroup listener is tempted to start is:
Error 1068: The dependency service or group could start.

Thank you very much, Jack MVP.  I downloaded and installed ServiWin as directed by your recommendation.

It showed me that the server SMB 1. XXX driver (srv.sys) was not working.  I then used the 'Google - executable name' search option from right-click menu.

This showed me in turn to the web page of "http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2473205" entitled: "list of currently available patches for technologies in Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2 file Services.

In this page, I found a section entitled SRV component with a link to the article 2625434 knowledge base: "http://support.microsoft.com/hotfix/KBHotfix.aspx?kbnum=2625434&kbln=en-us."

This allowed me to download an a security update that contains the latest version of the srv.sys.  Installation of this repaired my faulty installation of the SMB 1. XXX driver.

This then allowed me to do things like "View the HomeGroup Password" and "Leave the HomeGroup" that I couldn't do before.

I was then able to join the homegroup, and after restarting, become visible to my laptop.

I then told the phone leaving the homegroup and then join and now computers are visible to each other.

All Windows 7 computers on my home network are now visible to the other in the homegroup.
