Windows could not start Error 1. The dependency or group failed. I have been sarching for hours and hours. I did EVERYTHING suggested. NOTHING worked. Nearly. I found this at the last second. OMG 9. You are insanely GENIUS Finally something works and doesnt require a complete OS re installation. I was so afraid of that since Asus doesnt backup a physical copy of the Recovery manager in the hard drive, and somehow my Backup discs 6 discs, waste of my DVD O dont work at all. What happened was I used Reg. Tweaker to do a registry cleanup on my Win. I lost my WLan service, and no matter what I did nothing worked, until I tripped over your post Ive read over 5. I have tried 1 Microsoft Winsock. Fix 2 Replacing Winsock dll 3 Netsh wlan with set yes command 4 Netsh reset catalog command 5 LSP Fix. Right click Manage on Computer and enabling everything linked to WLAN dependencies to Automatic. I spent 8 hours and none of the above worked. Apparently loads of people have the same issue after using a Registry cleaner. Its tried, tested and proven. I have done registry cleanup on 2 computers and next thing I know on restart is that WLAN Service went. AWOL. My first suspicion went to a missing or corrupted Winsock, but I never thought a simple change to 2 files in the register would solve the problem. Your chunk of text was scary to look at at the beginning but I was so desperate I was willing to try anything. Microsoft should pay you man Their stupid suggestions dont work. For those like me, Ill break down the instructions for you Step 1 Click START button Step 2 In the Search area, type regedt. Run as Administrator. Step 3 Click on HKEYLOCALMACHINE, should expand out to a list of stuff Step 4 Next choose SYSTEM, should expand again Step 5 Choose Current. Food Program Tier 1 Rates on this page. Control. Set, expands again Step 6 Choose Services, expands to a super large list of stuff Step 7 Click on Dhcp, the right window will show the files in that folder Step 8 Double click on Depend. On. Service Step 9 Delete all the words in text area, except Afd, and click OK. You are done here. Step 1. 0 Next under Services, look for Eap. Host, this should be a few folders below Dhcp Step 1. Same thing, double click on the file Depend. On. ServiceStep 1. Delete everything in the text are and click OK. You are done. Now, close everything and RESTART WINDOWS. Your WLan should be back and working once your computer starts. Hope this saves you like it saved me. Thanks to original poster for the wonderful resolution. Your post was almost too obscure to find, but Im glad this. SOLVED Ill be spreading the word around to save people from the constant agony of WLAN SVC going balistic every time after a registry cleanup. Now then. I was about to wipe the blooming machine anyway, I thought what the, and just did the 1. AND IT FREAKING WORKEDSaved our skins. THANKS The Lady Sharrow.

I have defined a dhcp option 132 on a windows dhcp server. The option is used by an application. In most cases it works fine the option value is used.
