Windows 7 - file and printer sharing will not turn on and stay on

Both flagged as started

Boggin:
Well, they say no two Win 7 machines are the same :)

Just to confirm they are running, can you go Start - type msconfig and press enter, then check their status as running under the Services tab.

While you are in there, can you scroll a bit further down and check that the box for Server is checked.

They are running. Box next to Server is checked but the process is stopped

Boggin:
I've just been checking mine and my Lanman Server is showing as Started and Auto to yours which is showing as Stopped and Auto, although I've deleted the SMB 1 key, so don't know if that would have any effect.

There's no listing for it in services.msc so not sure if it would require a net start command.

Julian may have a comment on that.

There was one item I noticed that you have in the registry snip that I don't and that is for AutoShareWks with a value of 0.

I don't know what that is for or whether it's relevant.

An easy way to post the output of a cmd window is to right click in the text area and then click on Select all and press enter.

You then just right click in the reply box and select Paste, but the way you have done it may reduced its overall size.

EDIT - Forget about AutoShareWks - it's to do with enabling Administrative shares and the default value appears to be 0.

Boggin:
I can't think of anything else to suggest for this.

The idea of checking in Safe Mode with Networking was to eliminate the possibility of a 3rd party agent preventing Server from starting.

If anything else was failing to start, that would have been repetitive in Event Viewer as was PerNet and I doubt if scrolling further down the list of Errors in Event Viewer would show anything different.

While you are waiting for Julian to get back, see if these cmds will resolve the yellow alert next to Teredo Tunneling -

1. As an administrator from the Cmd Prompt, type then press Enter after each of these commands :-
2. netsh
3. int teredo
4. set state disabled
5. Open Device Manager/View/Show hidden devices > right click on Teredo Tunneling Pseudo-Interface and select Uninstall
6. Open the Cmd Prompt as an administrator again and type then Enter these cmds :-
7. netsh
8. int ipv6
9. set teredo client
10. Open Device Manager/Action/Scan for new hardware.
11. Then select Show hidden devices from the View menu.

It should now display without the yellow alert.

An alternative is to create a restore point then after uninstalling Teredo, click on Action/Add legacy hardware then click Next until you see the left pane populate and select Network adapters - Next - Microsoft then scroll down the right pane to see the Microsoft one - click on that and Next and when done, check to see that it is reinstated without any yellow alerts.

As I said earlier, it was HitmanPro.Alert v3.0 which is a browser guard which put a yellow alert next to mine, which is why I asked you to check if yours was still there after turning off Rapport.
