Network Red X, Services won't start, Access Denied

If it really is a permissions issue, it should be an easy fix once the
problem is identitified.
It just that with a home version, it is much harder to troubleshoot.

I've been having similiar issues. The Network list service refuses to start
and the netowrk conection status icon simply shows the red X, however I do
have full network connectivity. The service Network list service is stopped
and fails to start with the message "insufficient resources" heh. 80 % of the
system resources are free.
I looked in the service itself and it is running as "local Service" not as a
system account as i would have expected. I tried setting it to a local system
account and Vista instead replied that all processes in this set must use the
same logon credentials. my guess is that Vista is referring to the fact that
network list like so many of vista's processes runs as svchost.exe. I was
able to change back to local service account with a blank password. Now the
Service still does not start.... Ideas?

Thanks
