Computer Browser Service not working
I have a network consisting of 2-Vista Ultimate 32bit, 2-XP Professional 32
bit and 1- Xbox 360. All systems show all other boxes on the network, except for one of the Vista systems We will call it X). If you open View Computers and Devices on X it shows the Vista systems, and the XBox, and two media systems (one being X) but not either of the XP Computers(both with SP3 and thus the finding XP boxes patch). If you wait awhile (2 minutes) they finally show up, but then disappear 10-15 minutes later. For example is you start a copy from the Vista box to the XP box of a large file, it fails after say 10 minutes, however Media Player rips CDs to the XP box without any trouble On X (the Vista box that is having the problem): Computer Browser service does not show up in services.msc It is just not there. (Everything about scvhosts.exe seems to be fine.) The Registry has the right entries for both "browser" and "Browser." "browser.dll" is present in windows/system32 Command net service browser returns “invalid service name” I am assuming that this is a “computer browser” service issue. How do I figure out what is preventing this service from starting?

Computer Browser Service not working
I configured all non-MS services not to run, did a Safe Network boot and
nothing changed. The XP boxes still did not show up, the Computer Browser service was not running and the cmd net start browser still returns an "The service name is invalid." and suggest I type NET HELPMSG 2105." This produces the error msg "A network resource shortage occured." Note that the cmd NET START "any service name" produces the same "The service name is invalid" error msg on this machine. (Yes, I am running as admin.) What now? "Robert L. (MS-MVP)" wrote: For troubleshooting, you may try to clean boot. Please post back with the result.
