Network List Service does not start

[kankan]

Hello All,

I am running Vista Enterprise on a A6JA Asus Laptop Dual Core, 2Gb RAM, ATI X1600

I am facing a problem with my WLAN Status indicator which appears with a Red Cross in the task Bar. Meanwhile, the system connects OK to my local Internet Acces Point.

When i launch "services" i can find Network List Service stopped.

When i try to activate it, i have this message:

All my network activity seems very slow, the network center takes very long to appear.

Any idea of what could be wrong?

What WLAN status indicator? The only things I see with red Xs are the Synaptic touchpad icon (on the left), and a disconnected Wired (LAC) NIC (on the right).

If this is the first time you tried to activate, possibly because it doesn't see a KMS anywhere during your attempts to activate so it stops the service because it thinks your not really on a network. The enterprise version requires a KMS activation (or some sort of MAK, and failing those a phone call to MS). Do you have a connection to a KMS? Are you on a corporate LAN or a private home LAN (which I assume you are), and if on a private LAN (your home network) where is your KMS? It still checks OK to your local Internet Acces Point possibly because it thinks it needs to give you the opportunity to connect to a KMS somewhere for activation via the internet because it can't find a KMS on a LAN network.

Another possible cause - see that 'insufficient recources' thing? And then the slow activity? What changes have you made? What else do you have starting up? Something is eating resources possibly.

Also, how long have you been running the enterprise version without activation? (reduced functionality mode kicked in?)

Of course I could be wrong too, i'm just looking at it in a very general way.

I had a simliar problem when I manually started the Network list service and got the "error 1450 insufficient resources" error message, even though my mom's Dell laptop with preinstalled Vista Home Basic edition had 1Gb of RAM installed.

Recently I had to reinstall Vista by using the Vista Home Basic DVD and choosing the Upgrade option just to fix that problem and the WMI "access denied" problem. seems like I had some missing or corrupted WMI components on my mom's Vista laptop. now the Network List service works properly and I can see stuff in the Network and Sharing Center window.

when all other methods fail, reinstall Vista by using the upgrade option in Vista setup (yes, you can upgrade Vista on top of Vista!). Don't bother using the new Vista Startup Repair tool because it fails to detect the network list problem (I tried that and Startup Repair did not find the problem at all). just reinstall Vista on top of Vista by using the Upgrade option in setup and you will not lose your personal files and Vista activation status.
