Cannot start the Diagnostic Policy Service

Hello

When i try to start the "Diagnostic Policy Service" I recive this error
message: (translated from Norwegian)

"windows could not start the Diagnostic Policy Service service on Local
Computer. Error: 5 – Access is Denied"

I have tried it in several user accounts including the administrator one.

Anyone know the cause of this problem?

I have the exact same issue on a clients PC, running Vista Home Premium.

Multiple services do not start (event viewer, diagnostic policy service) and the network and sharing centre doesn't work at all.

Interesting to note, there are a lot of driver conflicts under network devices in the device manager, WAN miniports IPV4 and IPV6, some rubbish called isatap (heaps of those, isatap.vic.optushome.com.au. being one of them).

*Hi to ALL,
I had the same problem with DPS service and has been solved in this
simple way.
To local disk C, where is installed the Vista HB OS ,has been added new
USER,
it means : right ckick on disc C icon \propriety\security\group or user
names has been added the following users
-Authenticated Users
-Users
-Cretaor Owner
After the restart DPS service started automatically !!!! You are in
local service now !
Good DPS starting.......

..while searching everywhere to find an answer to this issue and
realizing there is no specific answer out there that I could find. I
was able to put 2 and 2 together thru all the readings and this is what
I was able to do to my system....low and behold it is working great
now.

go to the security properties of your C: drive and make sure that USERS
and CREATOR OWNER are included in the group.

open your registry editor as an administrator,
goto...HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE...SYSTEM...ControlSet001 ...Services...WdiServiceHost

make sure the Object name is NTAUTHORITY\LocalService
Do the same for the WdiSystemHost folder and the DPS folder

these have to match in order to work.

Reboot and try your diagnose and repair option for internet connection,
it should work now.
