Hello,
I have Windows Vista Ultimate and two other XP computers. The two XP's are
communicationg through the network (workgroup).
The problem is the my Vista computer cannot communicate with the XP ones. I
have tried to install the LLTD, with no luck. I can see those computers in
the network map, but I cannot share files or printers.
In the Network and Sharing center, I have file sharing, public folder
sharing, password protected sharing and media sharing ON. for some reason, I
can't switch the Network Discovery from custom to ON. I looked at Windows
Help, and I saw that dnscache, fdrespub, ssdpsrv, and upnphost services have
to be started.
For some reason, when I look in the "Services" tab in Task Manager,
dnscache, ssdpsrv, and upnphost services are running, and only the FDResPub
(Function Discovery Resource Publication) service is stopped. When I try to
start it, I get two types of error messages:
1. "The operation cpuld not be completed. Access is denied."
2. Windows could not start the Function Discovery Resource Publication
service on Local Computer. Error 0x80070001: Incorrect function.

My user is an Administrator.
How can I cause the FDResPub service to run??

Thank you in advance,
Amity

OK, the error "Incorrect function" usually means that the svchost.exe
file is corrupted. May I ask how familiar you are with using sc?
And in addition to answering that, please post what you get when you
type in sc qc FDResPub in the command prompt.

I haven't used the sc until now. when I write "sc qc FDResPub" it shows the
CMD window for a part of a second and closes it. When I write in "Run" only
"sc" it shows the CMD window with all the functions - query, queryex, start,
pause, etc.
nothing happens when I write "sc qc FDResPub" or even "sc start FDResPub".
Why is that? is there another name which I can access with to the FDResPub
service?
Thanks!

OK, sorry, I figured you were an expert judging by the fact that you
used the 8-character code for the services (in fact, although this is
apparently not so for you, the chances are extremely overwhelming that
only an expert would use the 8-character codes, so I'd make the same
assumption again). So, umm, here's the how-to:
1. OK, Vista Ultimate, fun fun, that's what I just bought. Yeah, I
don't know where its command prompt is... maybe you should type
cmd.exe in the Search box? No clue if it'll work, I hack-imported my
theme from WINDOWS 95.
2. Type in sc qc FDResPub and click ENTER.
3. Click the icon in the top left corner = Edit = Mark (yeah, they
removed the ability to do it via keyboard).
4. Select the output and press Enter to copy it.
5. Post it here... after reading your problem though it might be
easier to do a remote desktop session or something. I can fix the
Network Discovery via forums, but there are oodles of problems that
might keep Vista from communicating with XP. Especially if Vista is
ultimate, and especially if XP is not professional, then there's all
these group policies and stuff that are set up on Vista by default to
prevent lower security levels from accessing its data. And, it
"should" be able to view the content of the XP computers, just not the
other way around. By the way, I had the same problem. So yeah, mere
Network Discovery will most likely not fix it. While you're at it, you
might wanna check the status of services RemoteAccess, RasMan, TapiSvr,
and BFE and name the kind of network your computer uses, as well as you
can describe it. Different networks require different services in
Vista, as I unfortunately had to discover. In XP, I ran about 6 and
got away with it for doing normal tasks. In Vista, I run like 19, and
other services keep randomly turning themselves on, so yeah, I'm kinda
preferring XP right now. Especially with the no-confirmation
shutdowns. Very often I click, Start = Shut down to try to log off,
and POOF. OK, I'm going off on a tangent. Just tell me the results
please. Oh, and a meeting time. I'm a full time college student, so
preferably either early in the morning or in the evening. And I'll be
away this weekend, so no earlier than Tuesday, so that I'd be able to
reply yes or no. Unless you can do it tomorrow. Any time after lunch
would do. Of course, unless you wanna work on this yourself.
