This is my little problem, I cant share nothing on my home network. Everytime I try to enable sharing, it just says "Costume", and nothing happends
If i try to enable the rest of the stuff, as public folder sharing it just says "The RCP is unavaible", witch is wrong. I have checked my service´s and located the RCP in the list, and it´s started. The Server service in the list is Not started, it is in automatic (tried all the options here, manual, delay atuo). When i try to start it it just says - "Error 2: the system cannot find the fiel specified". The file in this case its looking for is (C:\Windows\system32\svchost.exe -k netsvcs). Did a search for that file and yea its in that EXACT place. been trying lots of things to workout what the problem is, but with no luck. I read that the solution was a missing DLL file named srvsvc.dll and srv.sys. With out this files the Server Serivce was not able to find svchost.exe. The solution was to extract new ones out from the windows cd. I searched for these files as well and guess what.....I found them right where they suppose to be on the computer.

I´m not 100% that even if windows finds this file, that it will solve my problem, but i suspect it....and hope for it.

Well that is basicly what the problem is all about. I did a virus scan Norton Internet Security, but nothing cameup.
I'm behind a D-link Router, dont think that matters, but i will mention it becuase, who knows I'm out of idees =)

Hi whs!

I have Windows vista on my laptop as well and Norton IS installed and that computer has no problem with its network. That one works as a charm.
I Tried doing all of what u just said. Cant say that i succeded 100%, couldnt find the web browsing part in Norton, its just not there. (I have 2008version)I did findout something what was of interrest.

Norton can find all of the other computers on the network (laptop and a ps3), but when i try in windows It just wont work. What does that tell me? That everything is infact working, its just my windows that doesnt "gett it", so to speak. I mean I been reading up on this problem and it was suppose to be fixed with those 2 files that i was "missing" (witch are right where they suppose to be). So I believe that its just windows that doesnt know that everything is OK with the system. Windows believe that I dont have certain files, and therfore it can´t continue. But Norton I.S., that just does what its told to do, checks the out situation directly, when asked to do so, finds everything emediatly!?!?!

That leads me to the conclusion that this most be the cuase! So how do I continue from here. How do I tell windows that the system files are, infact, installed and at there correct location. How do I do that. Is it a Register issue or just a reinstall kind of quest i'm heading off on? I miss my XP system, damn u DirectX10.

Toddyinc, you are going to need that Server service. From the description, it says, "Supports file, print, and named-pipe sharing over the network for this computer." From the previous thread, I had advised the other poster to run SFC. Did you do this and get a clean report? SFC checks to see that all Windows protected files are in the right place and are not corrupted. This is the closest thing to your request of "telling" Windows that all files are OK and in the right spot.

Next, let's have a look at the error codes that the Server Service is putting out. Run the following commands from a Command Prompt:

sc queryex LanmanServer
sc qc LanmanServer


Your picture/link does not work.

OK guess, this is what i have done. I gott real sick and tierd of this. So reinstalled the whole thing (with a format) and upgraded to a 64bit vista. I heard that it´s no good, lots of things that dont have drivers for 64bits, but only one way to find out. Any ways this version does at least my Server Service´s work. So i'm happy as I can be!

Like to thank u all for trying to help me out with this problem. I dont like to surrender to this kind of thing, but this just wore me out!

thanks again u guys!
cya around
