    I’m unable to connect my Playstation 3 up to the pc

    Have clicked on Media Sharing in the windows media player

    Have look under the services and have found that I’m getting a Error 1068 'dependency service or group failed to start' in Windows XP? When trying to start system

    Now having a Problem with Universal Plug and Play Device Host

    The Universal Plug and Play Device Host service on Local Computer started and then stopped. Some services stop automatically if they have no work to do, for example, the Perfomance Logs and Alerts service."
    Also Can't find Folder
    To fix the UPnP service if it is starting and immediately stopping, go to "Documents and Settings\LocalService\Application Data\Microsoft\UPnP Device Host" and edit the permissions on that folder.


    Also Done this

    - Open Regedit
    - Navigate down to

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\UPnP Device Host

    - Right click on the UPnP Device Host Key, and click 'Permissions'
    - When I checked this on mine, Local Service (which was the account
    used to log on to UPnP) had no entry
    - Click 'Add', then click 'Find Now', scroll down to the 'Local
    Service' user and double click, then click OK
    - You should see local service listed now, click OK.
    - Then click on local service in the users list, and change permission
    to 'Full Control'.


     

    and Windows Media is not working

    agentfox2009, go ahead and restore your computer back to a previous state, or if you have a backup to your registry for before you changed the listed key, go ahead and apply it.
    How to restore Windows XP to a previous state

    Go ahead and apply Service Pack 3:
    update.microsoft.com

    Make sure your Windows Media Player is working.
    Which version of WMP are you using? click Help - About .
    If you need to update it Download Player 11 for Windows XP .
