The dependency service or group failed to start

If you are a home user in the United States, go to Trend Micro Home User
Support ...

http://esupport.trendmicro.com/suppo...o?locale=en_US

On that page, in a yellow box, you will see a link about the detection of a
trojan ... follow that and see if it gives you any help ... it did not help
me. I had already clicked on the message box that said to delete the
"infected" files, which, upon restart, promptly deleted my NLA Service
(among other things). I started getting the same thing you did ...
dependency failed to start ... fortunately for me, I was just about to
install Service Pack 1 and Windows Update was still working ... how, I have
no idea, but it did. When Service Pack 1 completed installation, all was
well.

Good luck to you ... vanilla
