Hello, The problem i am having is that now the computer browser sevics keeps stopping about 5 miniuets after starting it. When it dose stop i can not access the shred files on it from other computers. I have to keep starting it again. The service is set to automatic. Any help Thanks

verify this registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Browser\Parameters The MaintainServerList value should be set to Yes or Auto. another solution from MSKB: To resolve this problem so that the Computer Browser service starts, follow these steps: 1. Click Start, click Run, type firewall.cpl in the Open box, and then click OK. 2. Click the Exceptions tab. 3. Click to select the File and Printer Sharing check box, and then click OK. The Computer Browser service automatically starts after you unblock the ports that are used for file and printer sharing.

The maintain ServerList is set to auto. When i do steep 1(firewall), it says that the windows firewall and internet services is nit running. Do i want to start it. When i say yes it then says windows could not start this servics. Any Help Thanks
