In "Network And Sharing Center" I get: The dependency service or group failed to start. No network to connect to, nothing. I recently installed an HP MediaSmart EX475. I would have been money ahead is I had taken the money, made a pile and a nice fire and roasted some hotdogs. That way I'd at least have gotten something to eat for my money. My advice to ANYONE: DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES BUY ONE OF THOSE. You want headaches, go out and buy one TODAY!!

Hi, I would like to confirm if you install a Windows Vista system on an HP MediaSmart Ex475 machine. In addition, I suggest checking the status of the following services: Network Location Awareness Remote Procedure Call (RPC) DCOM Server Process Launcher If the above services have not been started automatically, please manually start them and check the results. If thereare any errors received, please let me know what the exact wording of the error message are. Hope it helps.
