Odd, permissions look fine.

Try apply the reg file in safe mode for me :-)

Something isnt right that is for sure. We are pretty sure your system doesnt have an infection, so it looks like it is just damage that has been done that needs fixed.

We have all the other services and repairs working. Have you ran a system file check on the system yet?

Open a cmd.exe window and put in

sfc /scannow

Normally I would have you try a repair reinstall so you can keep all your programs and settings. But I would really like to find the fix to this so I can add it to the repair tool.

Every single fix I find on Google for it is already in the Windows repair tool.

I just put out v1.9.9. Grab it, have it do a reg backup on the step 4 tab and then I want you to run every repair. Make sure your antivirus is off (Also which one do you have installed? Want to make sure it isnt causing the problem)

Once done reboot and lets see how it goes :-)

Disable them all while running the repairs, if any of them get int he way it will keep repairs from working. :wink:

ok,o have bad news,the problems is still here and the
the message at start up - " Windows could not connect to the Group Policy Client service. The problem prevents standard users from logging on to the system.
As an administrative user, you can review the System Event Log for details about why the service didn't respond"   - is still too

There are some bad regkeys in the system which would explain a lot of things. Try the fix on this page and let me know if it fixes that error.

Glad to hear it is fixed :-)

Couple of questions though.

1. Did you test the firewall after the new error? Or did it still not work and you got the new error?
2. Which repair on that page did the trick for you so I can add it to the program :-)

 i dont have yet a new error,i'm sure i'll get (thats how the windows works)  :artist:

I repair the registry manually follow the instructions below

Quote
There are two places to look in the registry:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services this path should contain gpsvckey (a folder), which is responsible for service parameters and configuration.  I found that the key was intact, so, you do not touch anything here - just check that the key exists.
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SVCHOST This is the most important path you should look into, as it must contain the keys and values referred in the key #1.  Below are descriptions what must be present there.

    There must be Multi-String value called GPSvcGroup. My laptop was missing it.  So, you should create multi-string value named GPSvcGroup and assign it value GPSvc.
    Next, you must create a key (a folder) and name it GPSvcGroup - this key normally should be there, but, again, it was missin on my laptop.
    Then open newly-created GPSvcGroup folder and create 2 DWORD values:

    First called AuthenticationCapabilities and you must give it a value of 0x00003020 (or 12320 in decimal)
    Second is called CoInitializeSecurityParam and it must have value of 1.

Ok I did some testing. And removing that key does break the firewall. So I checked and xp, 2003 and Windows 8 dont use those keys. Seems only vista and 7 do. So I will add these keys to the next update for vista and 7 to the repair firewall :-)
