• Error: "Windows cannot start the windows firewall/internet connection sharing (ICS) service.

  On my Eee PC under XP Home edition tablet, I get the error "Windows cannot start the windows firewall/internet connection sharing (ICS) service" when I try to access my firewall. I also can't connect to my router Wireless Lan to go on the internet. This may be due to some viruses that have been deleted using Microsoft Security Essentials.But the problem persists. Could recharge SP2 solve this problem or am I condemned to reload the operating system?

• Windows XP SP3: Unable to start, System Restore cannot drag and drop ALL the files/folders on the desktop and applications, many unable to start, services cannot search, cannot copy or transfer the any files folders...

  After a recent power outage, my system has restarted with a weird and very common Windows problems range. The system boots fine, all my personal files/folders/apps are intact, have suddenly stopped almost all functions of applications, but many crucial functions of the Windows kernel. Everything seems to point to several Windows Services are unable to start (administrative tools on the start menu). I am running Win XP SP3 and that he was going to upgrade to Windows 7, but I wanted to backup everything in advance. As I have 29 000 hours on my C: drive and a lot of time invested in my system, files, and applications, I am extremely reluctant to risk losing my files and applications by performing any type of reinstalling Windows. Strangely, begin to almost all my apps and all my files are accessible for the most part, but I've lost the ability to drag and drop files, folders or items in a list within the applications COMPLETELY. I can't copy or paste anything, can't move the desktop icons (although I can create new files and folders). So at the moment I can't save anything or even a single file transfer to a hard drive on another storage medium. Immediate reaction: try safe mode and try the system restore safe mode has the same problems (likely due to the large number of system services that inexplicably refuses to start) and the system restore says an error window saying "system restore is not able to protect your computer at this time. try restoring the system running and restart again", which of course NEVER changes. It's the equivalent of getting a tire on your car in the middle of nowhere to find the spare tire flat and the missing Jack. I have used to be fanatical about the definition of the regular restore points, but now can not access them. I have backups of most of my personal files, but over years have lost most of the original installation CD for many of my applications (there are over 100 applications on my system) and I don't want to lose the file associations and architecture of directory tree that it took my so long to implement. I started with Win XP media center edition of first (circa 2004 or almost) and have migrated twice more of 3 hard disks and 2 computers. All this time (5 years of daily use), I have NEVER known so many malfunctions for as many Windows basic and vital functions at the same time. I tried a lot of 3rd party "windows fix - it / registry repair" apps, all have no effect. Everything I can speculate is there was some serious damage to the registry and have no idea how/why so many Services refuse to start. In MMC, more than half of the services actually start and run, the rest all give the error message "the service or dependencies is not start (error 1068).» In addition, very oddly, no. APPS or windows appear in the toolbar AT ALL, but the Quick Launch toolbar works very well, just like the tray button and start tasks (?! )!). If I reduce a window, it "disappears" (Nothing on the task bar), but I can restore it using the alt - tab keyboard shortcut to switch apps, so all applications/windows appear on the list of the Task Manager. A few apps is paralyzed bad, as the player windows media, itunes, etc. (I guess because the service windows audio can not not start), some won't start at all, but 90% of them work fine, except to try to copy or back up all files. I can create new files, however. I'm desperate to find a solution to repair XP3 Win WITHOUT losing my installed applications and files, before I try and switch to WIndows 7. Any help/suggestions/links/advice would be much appreciated. I'm an experienced user, but I've never met so many malfunctions based on the OS at a time. I, however, very painfully learned (years before that my system so complex) it's been almost a re-installation of Windows guarantees to lose my installed apps and files, the directory tree architecture associations.

  Help, please!

  I'll be honest with you - your message is so difficult to read that I don't bother to go through all that. Next time consider using white space, ball or points numbered, etc. to make your message more readable. I stopped reading after your first sentence and only scanned the rest quickly. I do not mean to hurt your feelings; just trying to help you get targeted answers you need for the future.

  The blackout has corrupted your Windows installation. Back up your data now. Since you have problems so much, it would be probably best is to remove the hard drive, put it in a USB drive enclosure and attach it to another computer to copy the data OR start the target with Linux Livecd such as Knoppix system and copy the data to an external hard drive. IOW, do not use the damaged windows to try to get your data.

  You can try a repair that will leave your programs and facility data intact, but with this widespread bribery, it is unlikely to work. However, it takes only a few minutes and is so worth a try. If the repair facility does not work there is nothing to do, but a clean install. And Yes, it will mean that over again.

  Consider buying a UPS to help prevent future damage by power outages. For a single computer, you should look for one in the area of $60 to 80. A more expensive UPS is not necessary. Another good disaster recovery strategy is to buy an external hard drive and Acronis True Image. You can image your system (and can make an incremental backup image so that your image is still current). You can apply your image and be back running that you were in relatively few minutes after a hard drive or Windows to fail.

• Windows Firewall/ICS will not start.

  Work on my aunts old Dell Dimension 3000 with XP Home Edition. She had downloaded about 5 to 6 cents free games and the 75g hard drive was full of 97% and I had to boot into safe mode and to sit and to uninstall programs for about 3 hours just to make it down to 83% full to do a Defrag. Its actually work very well now, but I know I have a lot of empty as much as * in the start menu. Also, McAfee trail period expired so I put Microsoft Security Essentials on it when I get the network card working. My main concern right now is to get the active windows firewall. Its a service does do not question, I'm sure. I'm used to Win7 64bits easy repairs, but did not do much with XP. I've run sfc.exe and msconfig set to normal. What to do next? Also, I find it odd the drive c does not list in the management of the computer, but is displayed in my computer. I heard Island what OS is on the partition of disk #0 #2? Is it just a thing of Dell?

  Also, McAfee trail period expired

  You should probably flatten and reinstall.  The fact that the system partition is #2 suggests that this particular Dell has a hidden restore partition.  Dell support site seems to have a lot of broken links at the moment, but in general:

  Reboot and when the Dell splash screen appears during the computer startup process, press and then press . Then release both keys at the same time. Which should help you in the PC Restore application where you have to follow the guests.

• Windows XP Home unable to start on Satellite P30

  Hello

  I use WinXP-H on a Satellite P30 (7 years).
  The screen died earlier, so I have been using an external monitor, but it's a problem for another time.

  A few days ago Windows has been updated. After all 4hours, it restarted itself - do not know if it has finished to day I was away from my office. Windows did not start, just hung on black screen boot WinXp.

  I turned off with the power button, left for a while and tried to restart. The first, a few times I could access the screen "Safe Mode, last known good Config etc" with F8, but he only got to Windows once, where it froze.

  At the start, only the F2 & F12 keys work now (for the blue BIOS screen and boot options). Tent to start HD causes not normal clicking noises then the "a disk error occurred. CTRL-ALT-DEL to restart message. " I tried to use the Toshiba Recovery disk, but it seems that you wipe the files left on the hard disk, even if she managed to reinstall Windows.

  I had saved most of my files, but there are some that I had not succeeded in yet, so I would try to keep them. Forums, it seems that there are several possible solutions:

  1. start from the restore disc Toshiba to format the HD and maybe recover some of the files later with file recovery software.
  2. get an installation of WinXP-H disc, which seems to have a recovery program.
  3. remove the HD and connect it to another computer to delete my files. I'm not experienced by removing computers, but would give it a go, if it was the best option.

  Soon, any advice appreciated.
  Al

  In my opinion the easiest way to access the HARD disk is to connect it as external drive to the other PC.
  Removing the disc HARD is not so complicated that you can do it alone. If you need help with him let us know.

  What you need is the external IDE HDD case. You can buy it on ebay and it is cheap.

  In the end I have to say that I think that the HARD drive is faulty, maybe only some sectors do not work and thereby Windows gets stuck on some steps.

  I had this old Satellite it there a long time, in red. It is a very nice machine with its fabulous. :)
